If you are interested in a place for your child, please call the setting to make sure there is a space for your child. One of the managers will then send you a registration form, fees and answer any questions that you may have.
At the moment we are only doing show arounds after the setting has closed, this is to keep the children that we care for as safe as possible while still allowing you the chance to see the setting in person. We understand that you may wish to see how our staff interact with the children so please speak to a member of the management team to see if they are able to help you.
If you would prefer to send us an email about registering, please email office@wakoos.co.uk and state which setting (Billingshurst or Petworth) you are interested in.
The free entitlement is term time only (38 weeks). The maximum number of hours parents can claim is 15 hours per week for 38 weeks.
When you claim Free Entitlement Funding (FEF) in your first term, please complete the Parent Declaration Form and return it to the Office. You can ask for a form from the office, or find it
