We are a non profit making organisation and all fees are used for the Pre-school. We also have charitable status under the Charities Act.
We operate a single fee scale, although working parents on low incomes may qualify for working parent tax credits, which can be for up to 70% of the fees payable, depending on level of income.
There are many ways of receiving help with fees. Some are listed below but the Islington Children’s Information Service (ICIS) issues an information pack which covers help: whether you are expecting a baby, working, planning to work, caring for a disabled child or studying. Call the ICIS on 020 7527 5959 to ask for a pack. If you are a Lone Parent you can contact an advisor on 0800 328 3147
