Where children have 15 hours only we recommend that children have daily sessions, wherever possible, as it has the greatest benefit for their social development and learning.

Charges for additional hours

The Rocking Horse Club provides paid childcare in addition to Government funded provision, during term-time

7.30 a.m. to 6 p.m. (4 p.m. on Friday)

If a child is collected late there is a late collection fee of £5 for each 5 minutes past the session end time, payable to Rocking Horse Club.  This is to part-cover the cost of the additional staffing this incurs.
