Important information
- All children aged 3 receive 15 hours free preschool education – their entitlement starts on the term after they are 3.
- We do our best to accommodate your preferences based on availability within the nursery.
- Some children aged 2 are also entitled to 15 hours funded sessions – if not, please see costings below.
- Some families will be entitled to 30 hours of government-funded sessions.
- Additional sessions can be purchased (see below).
- Our funded sessions run from 8:45-11:45 and 12.30-3.30.
- We run wrap-around care, including Breakfast Club and Tea Club, on Mondays to Fridays.
- Younger children require additional adult support and so the cost for additional sessions and/or wrap-around care is higher for 2-3 year olds (Acorns children).
- Any new wrap-around care bookings will be subject to a small administration fee.
