We provide government funded places – 2 year old funding, universal funding for 3/4 year olds (15 hours) and extended entitlement for 3/4 year olds (30 hours).   All funded sessions are in line with the Government’s Statutory Guidance and Local Authority requirements. When you register your child for their funded place we will discuss your needs, and as far as possible with availability and staffing arrangements we will accommodate your wishes.  We will try to accommodate your required hours and any changes you may wish to make but this should be booked in advance.  Further information regarding allocation of funding can be found on our funding advice sheet.
