Goslings Fees
We offer a range of options with different activities and learning opportunities every day. To enable your child to feel settled and to develop important relationships with our Early Years Team we would recommend that all children have a minimum of two sessions per-week; these can be half days or full days.
All children are eligible to the Early Years entitlement funding of 15 hours per week, 34 weeks per year, from the term after their third birthday. We accept childcare vouchers, please visit our School Downloads page for further details.
Fees are payable a term in advance.

Free early education entitlement
The Government Free Early Education Entitlement (FEEE) grant allows parents of children in independent schools to claim for 15 hours per week of funding from the term after their child turns 3 years of age until the term after they turn 5 years of age.
How the funded hours can be accessed at Goslings Nursery and Forest School:
- FEEE funded hours are restricted to the Afternoon session, between 1:00pm and 4:00pm. FEEE funding entitles a child to five funded Afternoon sessions per week, 34 weeks per year, during term time only.
The FEEE funding has no monetary value to parents. Parents will only be billed for additional hours not covered by the FEEE funding. Any changes to hours must be put in writing with one month’s notice given.
