Here’s our easy step-by-step guide to the Pre-Preparatory admissions process.

Pre-Prep Prospectus

Early Years Entitlement

Entitlements Somerset offers 570 hours per year of Early Years Entitlement (EYE) for all three and four year olds.

There are also a further 570 hours available to three and four year olds for qualifying families. These can be accessed flexibly in our setting and throughout 51 weeks of the year.

There is no minimum entitlement per day but the maximum hours per week that may be claimed is 15 hours, or 30 for those families qualifying for the additional entitlement.

Taunton Pre-Prep and Nursery are able to pass on the Early Years Funding Formula base rate worth £4.22 an hour, to be reviewed in April 2022. This is your free funding entitlement, free to all parents at the point of delivery.

Our hourly charge/rate is slightly more than the funded allocation as we have swimming teachers, specialist music staff and specialist facilities, which the children use. Our hourly rate also includes lunch and snacks. Before and after school care is free of charge for all pupils.

We also have information leaflets available; please contact our Nursery and Pre-Prep Admissions on tppsadmissions@tauntonschool.co.uk for a copy.
