All three and four year olds are entitled to 15 hours of free nursery education for 38 weeks of the year. This applies until they reach compulsory school age (the term following their fifth birthday) and begins the term following their third birthday.

We will claim the fees on your behalf each term and then pay the fees directly to you via a cheque. We will then invoice you in the normal way for your nursery fees. The current contribution from the Government is £4.38 per hour to a maxium of 15 hours per week.
