Fees and Opening Hours
Funding
We can offer free childcare hours for children eligible to receive the Nursery Education Grant. Families can use the full amount of free hours across any pattern of sessions in the week.
This funding is offered by the UK Government to all children from the term after your child's 3rd birthday.
All children receive at least 15 hours, and many children can claim 30 hours.
See here for more information and to check your eligibility.
Some 2 year olds are also eligible for funded childcare hours.
