We accept Nursery Education Grant funded places for eligible two, three and four year olds. Our afternoon sessions can be funded using the government’s Nursery Education Grant. Since the 15 hours must cover the entire term and holiday period the funded hours available to parents, typically, work out as:
Summer term - 195 hours across 22 weeks = 8.8 funded hours per week.
Autumn term – 210 hours across 18 weeks = 11.6 funded hours per week.
Spring term – 165 hours across 13 weeks = 12.6 funded hours per week.
Any other sessions are charged at our normal price. (See fee structure)
