ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

Age Group

We provide care, education and preschool activities for young children aged between 2 and 4 years old.

Opening Hours

The preschool follows the school term dates set out by the London Borough of Bromley and therefore is only open during term time.


Monday: 9am - 3.45pm

Tuesday: 9am - 12.15pm

Wednesday: CLOSED

Thursday: 9am - 3.45pm

Friday: 9am - 12.15pm


For the longer days on Mondays and Thursdays, children can attend a full day (which is considered two sessions), or split half day sessions (9am - 12.15pm or 12.45pm - 3.45pm). There is also a lunch time option between 12.15pm - 12.45pm.

Attendance Requirements

Attendance at St James’ preschool is subject to minimum attendance requirements:

  • 2 year olds must attend at least 2 sessions per week; and
  • 3 year olds and above must attend at least 4 sessions per week.

Any deviation to these requirements is at the discretion of the Management Committee. 

Food and Drinks

We run a daily snack bar for the children where a selection of water, semi-skimmed milk, fruit, vegetables, rice cakes and breadsticks are provided. Children choose what they would like as a  snack to encourage independence.

Water is always available and accessible to children through the session.


For those children that stay for lunch, a well-balanced packed lunch will need to be provided from home.

Fees & Registration
