Nursery Education -
Funded places for 3 - 4 year old's
Children aged 3 & 4 years are entitled to access 15 hours of free nursery provision each week for 38 weeks of the year. In some case your child may be entitled to an additional 15 hours per week. This will need to be claimed separately and updated each term.
The nursery education places we provide can be fairly flexible, depending on availability. Although we are only able to claim a minimum of 2 hours or a maximum of 6 hours per day and these must be the same hours every week,. Maybe you want to share the 15 hours between a nursery and childminder? Maybe you want regular sessions?
If we don't have what you need straight away - we can put your details on our waiting list and will contact you as soon as a place becomes available that meets your needs.
PLEASE NOTE
Funded places are sometimes available for 2 year old's
- subject to status requirements -
