How does funding work for my Nursery child?
We would love to welcome your child to Nursery from when they are 3 years old.
Once your child has their third birthday, they can attend Nursery with us. A child attending Nursery before their funding is awarded will have associated costs involved (please see the guidance below).
The government offers free childcare from the term following your child's third birthday. Your child can access 15 hours free childcare per week and then you can also apply for 30 hours free childcare, both to be funded the term following their third birthday.
We recommend that you apply for the 30-hour Nursery funding, as it enables you to be flexible in your choice of the days/times your child attends throughout the week. This is very important when your child's Nursery class is full.
