Admissions and Funding

We offer the Free Early Years Entitlement funding for all 3 and 4 year olds. We also have places available for 2 year olds including funded two year olds.

3 and 4 year olds are entitled to 15 hours per week over 38 weeks from the term following their 3rd birthday until they reach compulsory school age (the beginning of the term following their 5th birthday). This means that, if their birthday is during the period April to August, they would access their free funded sessions from the following September; if their birthday is during the period September to December, they would access their free funded sessions from the following January; and, if born during the period January to March, they would access their free funded sessions after the Easter break in April.

Many working parents will be eligible for 30 hours of funded childcare.

Unlike many settings, we do not ask parents to top-up the government funding. We do however, ask parents to make a small (£20) voluntary contribution every term to the setting.

Additional purchased sessions

We also offer Parents/Carers the option to purchase additional sessions.  Please click on the Admissions – Fees Guide for further information.

Purchased sessions should be booked ahead on a half-termly basis and fees will be due half-termly in advance.  Application for the purchase of additional sessions will only be approved if the school can make the necessary provision from surplus capacity.
