We do not offer a separate 'Rising Fives' session at Pippins. Children are learning and developing skills for school and their future learning at all times throughout all sessions and during day to day activities and play.
We accept tax free childcare vouchers and we offer the 15 hour Government funding for 3 and 4 year old children and eligible 2 year old children. All children receive the 15 funded hours the term after they turn 3 and some families may be entitled to 15 hours of funded childcare the term after their child turns 2. Some families may also be entitled to 30 hours of Government funding.
