Fees
Information
As from September 2020, our pre-school fees at East and Central Croydon are £23.00 per session or £100 per week.
Fees are payable on the first session of each half term in advance. We are currently in the government funding scheme for preschools and nurseries for 3 and 4 year olds.
This scheme commences the term after your child turns 3 and parents need to complete some paperwork so that we can apply on behalf of your child.
For children that are not funded, a £30 registration fee is applicable.
Settling In New Children
Some children settle in almost immediately and others take several weeks.
It is important that your child feels completely comfortable in pre-school before they are left.
Staff will discuss with each parent or carer the best way to deal with leaving your children and how to ensure you keep and build trust with them in the process.
Our Location
The Hop, Skip and Jump preschool nearest to East Croydon rail and tram services, is held in United Reform Church in Addiscombe Grove, CR0 5LP.

All my children have been through Hop, Skip and Jump Pre-School and we found the staff to be completely professional, fun and loving.
parent 2020
Despite [my daughter] being very shy I was very surprised at how quickly she settled in. Hop, Skip and Jump staff encourage children to learn and play, share and respect within a fun and Christian environment.
