All children are entitled to 15 hours per week for a total of 39 weeks per year.
If you are only entitled to 15 hours funding but would like your child to attend the Nursery on a full time basis we are now offering top up sessions from 11.45 to 2.45pm. If you would like your child to attend for the whole day you must commit to 5 afternoon top-up sessions per week for the entirety of the school term. All top-up sessions will need to be booked and paid for half termly in advance to secure your child’s place. No refunds will be payable by the school, for any reasons. If your child is entitled to 30 hours funding you will still need to book your top-up sessions with the school office.
If your child attends for the whole day you can either provide a healthy packed lunch or pay for a school lunch which you will need to pre-order and pay for through Hungry Minds https://parents.feedinghungryminds.co.uk/login. Lunches will cost £2.51 per day.
Fruit snacks are provided free of charge during the day.
If your child is entitled to 30 hours funding and you have a 30-hour code, the session timings will be from 08:45am – 2:45pm. Should you wish for your child to remain in school from 2:45pm – 3:30pm * please refer to the payment structure in the table above.
If you are funded for 15 hours and only attend the afternoon session this is from 12.30pm until 3.30pm, with no extra payment payable.
