Your child becomes eligible for a free Government Early Education Entitlement place from the start of the school term after his/her third birthday.
Before your child starts at the nursery you will be asked to complete an Early Education Entitlement Form. This entitles you to five sessions per week (15 universal hours) funded by the government. Please be aware that this is the overall maximum, i.e. if your child is attending five sessions with us and five at another setting, you will only be able to claim at one of the settings, not both. If your child attends for more than five half-day sessions, you will be required to pay for the additional sessions with childcare vouchers, cheque or cash. You will be issued an invoice during the first half term once the grant forms have been accepted. Once the timetable is agreed a half term notice is required to drop or alter sessions.
We also offer a limited number of 30 hours free childcare spaces. Should you be eligible (you may check your eligibility at https://www.gov.uk/30-hours-free-childcare for extended 30 hours provision). These 30 hour places are limited and offered on a first come, first served basis.
If you have any queries please speak to the Nursery Administrator via email at nurseryadmin@stelizabeths.richmond.sch.uk.
