Fees, Funding & Sessions
Our Nursery year starts in September and runs through until July, this is called an academic year.
Nursery is open 8:40am-3:10pm Monday to Friday during term time.
We offer fully funded Nursery places with no hidden charges. Parents who are entitleted to the early years funded entitlement can take their funding between the main Nursery opening hours of 8:40am to 3:10pm.If you do not meet the eligibility critera for '30 hours funding', parents are offered the opportunity to pay for a place at our Nursery.
ALL children are eligible for 15 hours of Nursery funding a week from the term after they turn 3 years old, this is called the "universal offer". Working parents of 3 and 4 year-olds may be eligible for an extended entitlement of an additional 15 hours (often called 30 hours childcare).
From September 2025, working parents of 2-year-olds may also be eligible for 30 hours a week of nursery funding from the term after their child turns 9 months old.
Some families of 2 year olds may also be eligible for 15 hours of funding from the term after they turn 2. This is called, Early Learning for 2 year olds, (formerly known as FEET Funding).
