Nursery Provision
The School& Childcare operates Monday to Friday, from 7:45am to 5:45pm, for 50 weeks each year –referred to as All Year Round (AYR) provision. Sessions that incur a fee are termed ‘paid provision ’or ‘childcare’, while those covered by government funding are referred to as ‘funded (free) hours’.
Eligible families may receive 15 hours per week of funded (free) education for 38 weeks (term time only), or 30 hours per week for 38 weeks (term time only). Funded (free) provision can also be ‘stretched’ over 50 weeks (all year round). Funded education does not include the cost of meals or snacks. Where a child’s funded hours include a mealtime, only the cost of the meal will be charged.
