We provide 15 fully funded hours for all 3-4 year olds. (5 x 3 hours, either morning or afternoon)

Little Tanglewood & Tanglewood - Private Fund

We ask for a contribution of 80p per session (£4.00 per week) for children in both Tanglewood and Little Tanglewood.

This enables us to provide a daily fresh fruit snack, a wide selection of ingredients so that children can enjoy cooking as a whole class or in small groups as well as ingredients for our daily messy play activities such a playdough, slime, cornflour or shaving foam. These activities are vital for children’s sensory and fine motor skills which all need to be developed before a child learns to write.

You can pay Private Fund weekly, half termly or termly, either by cash (in a named envelope), cheque or by bank transfer.

To pay by bank transfer the details are: 

  • Account Name: Tanglewood Nursery School Fund 
  • Account Number:  48863707 
  • Sort Code:  09-01-54       
  • Please use your child's name and room name as reference.                                                      

To get an exact figure for your child's private fund please email the office and speak to Tania Parry or Jess Gibbons, admissions@tanglewood.essex.sch.uk
