FEEES - FUNDING EARLY EDUCATION ENTITLEMENT
The government offers a range of free childcare options to support families. Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for 15 or 30 hours of funded childcare for 3- and 4-year-olds.
Additional support is also available through Tax-Free Childcare and childcare vouchers. These schemes are designed to make early education more accessible and affordable for working families.
Our Nursery offers a variety of sessions for 3-4 year old's:
•FEEE 15hours – for all children the term after their third birthday ( 5 x 3 hour session AM or PM)
•FEEE 30 hours – where families meet the government criteria as working parents. Children eligible from their third birthday (5 x 6 hour sessions)
•Unfunded paid sessions – please see booking form for further details
Due to the importance of routines, procedures, and attainment, it is vitally important that your child arrives on time and attends every day.
Please note fees, where applicable, are charged even if your child does not attend.
You are also able to ‘top-up’ your child’s sessions, subject to availability and charges.

As a Catholic school, we are committed to making high-quality early education accessible to all. We aim to offer the government-funded 15 or 30 hours without any compulsory top-up fees. To support this, families have the option to send a packed lunch and collect their child at 2:35pm, ensuring there are no additional charges, apart from a voluntary contribution towards snacks.
