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 children who are eligible to receive 30 hours free childcare per week.

Our Early Years Education hours are between 10am to 1pm and 1pm to 4pm.

Eligibility follows the criteria below:
Child's Birthday - Funding Eligibility

1st April - 31st August (inclusive) The start of term 1 following their 3rd birthday (after summer holidays) until statutory school age.

1st September - 31st December (inclusive) The start of term 3 following their 3rd birthday (after Christmas/New year) until statutory school age.

1st January - 31st March (inclusive) The start of term 5 following their 3rd birthday (after April holiday) until statutory school age.

Please note that Kent County Council only fund 38 weeks of the school year so payment is required for any extra days in our terms.
