Government Early Years Funding (EYFE)
Children aged 3-4 in our Pre-School and Reception classes can receive 15 hours per week of universal Early Years Funding Entitlement during term time, based on our academic calendar of 35 weeks. Eligibility applies from the academic term after a child turns three until the end of the first term following their fifth birthday.
In addition, children aged 2–3 in our Nursery may also be eligible for funded hours, depending on family circumstances. Eligible working parents may receive up to 30 hours of funded childcare per week for children. Families receiving certain forms of government support may access 15 hours of funded early learning for 2-year-olds.
