Sessions and Funding

- Your child must be 3 years old either on or before the 31st August 2025.
- You must be eligible for 30 hour funding, you must have applied and be in receipt of a DERN Number (Applications are open now). This must be shared with school at your earliest convenience and is valid for 3 months.

- You must regularly re-apply for funding – every 3 months (we will inform you when your funding is nearing its end). You must share your new DERN number with the school. A failure to do so will result in the withdrawal of your child's place.
- Drop Off and Collection must be prompt. Doors open at 9.00am and close at 3.00pm - 6 hours per day (Term Time Only).
- Children must be provided with a healthy lunch and drink, in a named lunchbox and water bottle. (Please remember we are a nut-free school).
