30 HOURS OFFER FOR NURSERY CHILDREN

If you wish to apply for the free 30 hour offer (Full Time Nursery place).

Go to www.childcare-support.tax.service.gov.uk.

Create a HMRC Account. Go through the 30 application and you will be given an 11 digit code (usually beginning with 500). The school has to see evidence of your code and renew date to be offered this facility. You need to apply for the code the term before you require the place. Codes have to be renewed every 3 months to be offered a space at school.

We do offer the facility where you can pay for additional sessions, if you do not have a funding code. These are £14.75 per session, which can be booked on ParentPay, following pre-arrangement with the school.

Starting school

When can my child start school?

All children are entitled to start in a Reception class in the September after their fourth birthday. Children do not, however, have to start school in September if it is felt that they are not ready.

The application process will begin around twelve months before your child is eligible to start school.
