Early Years Education Funding

All three and four year olds are entitled to 15 hours of free nursery education for 38 weeks of the year. This applies until they reach compulsory school age (the term following their 5th birthday).  We also accept three and four year olds who are eligible to receive 30 hours free childcare per week.   For 3 year olds attending Term-Time only we offer these hours over 38 weeks.  Our terms are typically longer than 38 weeks so there will be some unfunded days if your child is accessing wrap around care.
Children attending full time will receive 12 hours stretched over 48 weeks.

Eligible children aged 9 months to 3 years are entitled to 15 hours of free nursery education for 38 weeks.  As we do not offer term-time attendance to under 3's this funding is stretched to 12 hours over 48 weeks.

Our Free Early Years Education hours are offered in two 3-hour sessions between 10am to 1pm and 1pm to 4pm.
