Play B C offers high quality teacher led provision, which requires some investment. However, in the current climate, we find ourself under significant financial pressure, like other early years settings up and down the country. The government funding for preschool places doesn’t cover the true cost of delivery and they have said it is only meant to cover basic childcare, not additional costs like meals, consumables, extra hours, or additional services and that families should be prepared to pay for these.
In order to remain sustainable we have introduced a daily charge for additional services and consumables for children in receipt of funded hours. Parents of children not eligible for entitlement funding will pay for sessions at the appropriate hourly rate (£10), which includes a hot lunch if they attend over the lunch period. Parents who require extra hours in addition to their funded hours will pay this same rate.
All children staying for lunch have a hot meal. This aligns with our commitment to promote children’s overall well-being and development and our steps towards the Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger, fostering a future where every child has access to nourishing food for a brighter and more sustainable world. We feel that it is in their best interests for a number of reasons such as:
-Exposure to different foods, flavours and tastes, which helps with the transition to school dinners, and sets up eating a varied diet throughout life
-Ensuring no allergenic foods are brought into preschool
-Receiving at least one balanced, freshly cooked, hot meal each day
-Developing self-care skills such as eating with a knife and fork
In the case of children with restricted diets we will work with the families accordingly. Any family not wanting their child to have a hot meal is welcome to collect them and take them home for lunch.
We are able to offer a restricted number of bursary places for children in receipt of Early Years Pupil Premium.
There is parking along the A232 and A237. Parking is also available along Mill Lane, apart from between 11:00 and 13:00.

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.006) out of 10 for Play B C Preschool - Carshalton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.881 for Play B C Preschool - Carshalton is calculated as follows: ( (52 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.881
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').
The 4.125 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Play B C Preschool - Carshalton is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5
ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 40 number of registered child places is 8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.625
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
