Our Sessions and Fees

****From April 2026, our fees will rise slightly as national insurance increases will effect us and other small business like us. We have kept the rise as minimal as possible to ensure we can carry on providing high quality care to children as well as ensure we can support our excellent staff members in their careers with us.
