Opening Hours
We are open Monday - Friday, 8:30 am - 3:30 pm during term-time only.
Heydays accepts children from two-years old.
Children can attend the full day, or half day sessions as required. Our standard sessions are as follows.
Session Map
From September 2026, Wednesday sessions will be available to all children at Heydays Preschool,
not just our older preschool children.
This means families will be able to access Wednesday as part of their child’s regular week, with experiences thoughtfully planned to suit different ages and stages of development.
Our preschool children will continue to benefit from opportunities that help build confidence and familiarity with school life, including lunch at the school on Wednesdays, while our younger children, including 2-year-olds, will remain on site to enjoy a rich, nurturing day of play, exploration and familiar routines.
We are a healthy eating preschool and encourage parents to select healthy and nutritious packed lunches for their children.
Fresh water and milk is available for the children each session.
Price and Funding
We are registered to accept 15 hours EYE funding per week (for 38 weeks per year) for 2 year old children who have a unique reference number.
We are registered to accept EYE funding for 15 hours for all children the term after they turn 3 years, where a parent/guardian submits a Hampshire County Council claim form to us. Heydays will provide the claim form.
We are also registered to accept 30 hours EYE funding per week for eligible children. 15 hours Universal EYE funding and 15 hours additional EYE funding with a unique code. Heydays will provide the claim form. This is limited to a set number of children per day.
From September 2025 we charge £9.00 per hour for non-funded children and accept payment via several Childcare Voucher Schemes - please ask us for more details. We also accept cash and bank transfer.
