Universal and Extended Hours

All three and four year olds are entitled to 15 funded hours a week of education/childcare. For those who are eligible there is also an extended offer of up to 30 hours.

We offer a great deal of flexibility for our families, which enables parents to take either completely free patterns or those with minimal, but additional costs.

For those using the Universal 15 hours

Our completely free pattern would be:

5 mornings a week (8:30-11:30am)

or

5 afternoons a week (12:30-3:30pm)

There is the option to do full days which incurs a £5/day 'top-up' fee for lunchtime. For example a child may do Monday and Tuesday all day as well as a Wednesday morning (incurring a £10/week charge for the lunchtime sessions).

For those eligible for the Extended 30 hours

Our completely free pattern would be:

8:30am-2:30pm everyday

There is the option to do full days (to 3:30pm) which incurs a £5/day 'top-up' fee for 2:30-3:30pm. For example a child may do Monday - Friday 8:30am-2:30pm and extend to 3:30pm to be in line with school pick up and an afternoon nursery session (incurring a £25/week charge for 2:30-3:30pm each day).

Breakfast Club

Our Breakfast Club runs from 8am in the school hall and costs £2.50/day. The Breakfast Club staff take the nursery children through ready for the start of the sessions at 8:30am.
