Additional Hours

Additional Hours
£5.00 p/h
Sometimes parents may be delayed, have an unexpected appointment or simply want an extra hour to themselves. If parents/carer’s wish to book an extra hour on top of their normally booked session, they can ask a member of staff if there is a space for their child to remain with us for the extended time.

If we have the space and there is the correct ratio of staff to children available, we always try to accommodate the child.

This service is not available after the close of business (at 6.00pm) it is only available as an occasional service to part time customers. If parents wish to book additional hours regularly then they must book a regular space accordingly.

"My husband and I, only visited one establishment and made our decision there and then that Brook Cottage was the place to send our child. We cannot believe how quickly our one year old son adapted to nursery life. Within a short period, all the staff knew his character - including when he wasn't himself, which as parents speaks volumes to us.  All staff are welcoming and friendly, they incorporate the early learning goals in a fun, child led way that includes exploring the local community and exposing children to new experiences daily. The development we have seen in the three months our son has been attending Brook Cottage is phenomenal. Thank you- you're an amazing team."
