What we offer
We offer 15-hour and 30-hour funded places to children from the age of three years.

| 1 September - 31 December | Spring Term - January |
| 1 January - 31 March | Summer Term - April |
Children are entitled to at least 15 hours of free funded provision in nursery, starting at the beginning of the term following their third birthday. We also offer up to an additional 15 hours for parents entitled to the Extended Hours Funding, which means a total of 30 hours of free Nursery provision. You must check you are entitled to 30 hours and provide the code to the school the term before your child is due to start.
Parents who are not entitled to Extended Hours Funding can pay for additional hours themselves. Please see below for timings and costing options for parents.
