(for paying pupils or those eligible for 30 hours funding)
Funding
All 3 and 4 year olds are eligible for up to 15 hours of free early education and childcare per week. This funding is automatically available to all children from the term after they turn 3. Additionally, working families can qualify for an extra 15 hours of free childcare, bringing the total to 30 hours per week.
If a place is offered you will be asked to provide your National Insurance Number (for both 15 and 30 hours funding).
If claiming for 30 hours funding, you will need to provide us with your eligibility code which you can obtain from the Government Gateway website. You can use this against the 33.75 hours and then pay the extra 3.75 hours (lunch cover) at £3 per day, which is £15 per week.
The fee for the 45 minute lunch cover is the cost of staff supervision between the morning and afternoon sessions. Lunch is not provided and a packed lunch should be brought in. To ensure adequate staff provision is in place at lunchtimes, the charge applies to all days the school is open, regardless of days your child may be absent.
