Admission & Fees
Places for September 2025 are now full so we are not taking any more registrations at this time.
Please note that unfortunately, although the government provide funding for children’s places, this does not cover the services that Acorns provide and costs for extra services will be incurred. To enable us to run at a higher adult-to-child ratio and deliver experiences such as daily forest school, Theraplay sessions, snacks, and resources we need to add a supplementary charge to cover extra costs.
The costs for additional services apply to all places and are structured as follows:
For all ‘funded’ hours:
- £5.00 per hour
- £15.00 per three-hour session
- £30.00 per day
For all ‘non-funded’ hours:
- £10.00 per hour
- £30.00 per three-hour session
- £60.00 per day
We consider a standard day (9:30 am to 3:30 pm) as consisting of two three-hour sessions. The fees you will pay depend on whether or not you receive Government funding.
Please note: These fees are regularly reviewed and may increase in 2025.
