Early Years Foundation Grant Information

• We offer the 30 hour funding to all families who are eligible for this new government scheme. This will however be dependent on our availability. Children are eligible for funding the term after their 3rd birthday. The year is split up into three terms and a child’s entitlement commences at the following times dependant on their date of birth:
  
  If your child is born between 1st September – 31st December the funding would commence from January and you would receive five terms of funding before your child starts school.
  
  If your child is born between 1st January – 31st March the funding would commence from May and you would receive four terms of funding before your child starts school.
  
  If your child is born between 1st April – 31st August the funding would commence from September and you would receive three terms of funding before your child starts school.


• The Early Foundation Stage Grant is either 15 or 30 hours per week, during term time.


• Children aged 3 and 4 who access the day nursery will not be charged for up to 30 hours per week during term time.


• Our policy on how to implement the Free Early Years entitlement for parents using Full Day Care is to spread the free hours out equally over the 12 months of the year. This means each month parents receive an equal amount of the entitlement, regardless of how many weeks of holiday there are in a particular month.


• Children are more than welcome to attend for more than 15/30 hours.


• A maximum of 10 hours can be used towards a full day.
