Fees, Funding & sessions

 

Our Nursery year starts in September and runs through until July. This is called an academic year. Nursery is open 9am-3pm Monday to Friday during term time, which supports the school day and our school holiday periods are also the same.

We offer fully funded Nursery places with no hidden charges. Parents who can claim the early years funded entitlement can take their funding between the main Nursery opening hours of 9am to 3pm. If your child is not old enough for funding or does not meet eligibility for the extended entitlement, parents are offered the opportunity to pay for a place at our Nursery. Remember you may also be able to access other financial support towards your childcare costs, such as tax-free childcare.

Universal Funding (3-4 years)

All children are eligible for 15 hours of Nursery funding a week from the term after they turn 3 years old, this is called the "universal offer". Working parents of 3- and 4-year-olds may be eligible for an extended entitlement of an additional 15 hours (often called 30 hours childcare).

Working Parents Entitlement (2-3years)

From September 2025, working parents of 2-year-olds may also be eligible for 30 hours a week of nursery funding from the term after their child turns 9 months old. 

Please visit the Childcare Choices website for full details on early years funding and how to apply Childcare Choices | 30 Hours Free Childcare, Tax-Free Childcare and More | Help with Costs | GOV.UK

Some families of 2-year-olds may also be eligible for 15 hours of funding from the term after they turn 2 - this is called FEET/Disadvantage Funding.  Please go to the Local Authority Website and search for 2-year-old funding for details on eligibility and how to apply online.
