School Lunches
From September 2026, we are introducing in-house lunch provision, where nutritious, freshly made lunches will be provided for all children from Nursery to Year 6. School lunches will be enjoyed in our new kitchen and dining room, where children can discover new flavours alongside much‑loved firm favourites.
The cost of this provision is £300 per pupil, per term and applies to all children. For Nursery children attending part-time, this charge will be pro-rated.
Early Years Funding
All three and four‑year‑olds are eligible for 15 hours of government‑funded childcare per week during term time, providing meaningful support for families at an important stage of their child’s early education. This entitlement runs for up to six terms, beginning the term after your child’s third birthday and continuing through to the term of their fifth birthday.
At Kew College Prep, we offer the funded hours every afternoon, Monday to Friday, within our nurturing Nursery environment, ensuring children benefit from high-quality care, education and a smooth introduction to school life.
