Joining Us and Funding

Fees

The following is just a top-line summary; please refer to the Preschool Payment of Fees Policy for full details. Early Years Grant Fund is available for up to 15hrs or 30hrs per week from the start of the term after a child’s 3rd birthday but is subject to cut-off dates. For example a child born on 2nd January will not be funded for Spring term commencing on 5th January as the cut-off date is the 31st December. We can also offer funding through the 2 Year Old Early Years Education Scheme for eligible children under the age of three years. Children are eligible if the parents or guardians are in receipt of one or more of the specified benefits, or if the child is looked after by the Local Authority.

All children aged three and four (from the term following their 3rd birthday) are entitled to 15 hours per week of free preschool education for 38 weeks of the year.
