From 1st April 2026, Richmond Playgroup’s compulsory session times and funding offers are:
 
All Day session: 8:40am – 3:15pm Monday-Friday.
Covered by 6 hours of funding per day from 9:00am-3:00pm. Additional 35 minutes (8:40am-9:00am and 3:00pm-3:15pm) incurs a charge of £4.32 per day.
Please note; this is not a top up of your free government funding entitlement. The charge is incurred due to the hours in our day which is not paid through funding post the 6 hours per day.
 
Government funding is offered in 12, 18, 24 or 30 hours with the option of paying for additional hours if required. For example, if a child has 15 hours universal funding this would be used as 2 full days with the option of an additional 3 hours, paid privately, to make 3 full days totalling 18 hours. 
With the guidance from the Local Authority these new session times are compulsory in line with Richmond Primary School.
