Meet the Team

We are Jo and Becca and we have worked together for 7 years. Between us we have over 17 years experience in early years education, working in both a preschool and reception class setting. It is our love for early years and our understanding of the importance of building strong foundations in early childhood that has driven us to open our own preschool. Michelle joined our team in November 2022. She has worked in childcare for many years and brings with her a wealth of knowledge. Millie and Maria joined our team in Spring 2024. Millie has worked in nurseries for a number of years and  Maria was a Forest School Leader before joining us. We are very lucky that they both bring a variety of skills with them to Wildlings.

Preschool sessions & Fees*

We offer childcare sessions 9am - 3pm Monday to Friday during term time only. We also offer an early drop off from 8:30am and late pick up till 3:15pm.

We offer up to 15 or 30 hours of funded childcare for eligible children from 2 years to school age. To find out about eligibility click here.  For non-funded places please see prices adjacent.

We ask that parents/carers provide a packed lunch for their child or a hot meal can be ordered from the school caterers for £2.80* a meal. 

There are some charges in addition to the session cost whether funded or not. These charges are optional and designed to enhance the overall experience your child has at Wildlings, but they will not impact your ability to receive fully funded hours for eligible children. They are charged per session your child attends. A session is 9am-12pm and 12pm-3pm. If your child attends for a full day they will be charged for two sessions (with the exception of snack which is only offered in a morning session).

A copy of our Additional Charges Policy can be sent upon request.
