3 & 4 Year Olds: As a registered childcare provider, the pre-school can claim Early Years Education funding for all 3 and 4 year olds for up to 15 hours per week, or 30 hours should the criteria be met. This funding is effective from the beginning of the term that starts after their third birthday. 

​

When your child becomes eligible to claim the funding, and the hours they attend exceed their 15 or 30 hours entitlement per week (depending on your requirements), then fees are payable to the pre-school.

 

Fees can be paid in instalments, and we accept childcare vouchers.

30 hours funding

​

The pre-school is currently open for 27 hours each week and offers funded hours to families who are eligible for the 30 hours funding for their 3 or 4 year child. The pre-school’s provision may be paired with another participating childcare provider, to allow parents to split their child's funded hours.

 

Under the 30 hours funded scheme the maximum funded hours in a birthday year is 1140. Further information on this funding is available from the Local Authority through the following link:
