EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE GRANT ("EYFSG") SCHEME:
The term after your child turns three they may be eligible to claim 15 hours (for 38 weeks per year) under the Early Years Foundation Grant Scheme (EYFSG). These sessions are available on a flexible basis.

In order to book your sessions you will be required to fill out a time table expressing the times in which you wish your child to attend. You may attend only for the 15 hours free sessions, therefore incurring no extra charges, these will also include lunch. However should you wish to attend longer than the 15 hours you will be charged at £3.50 per hour for sessions attended over and above the free sessions. Please note that once the sessions are booked these will remain in place for each half term. We are only able to swap sessions or offer extra sessions if we have places available.

The hourly rate above applies ONLY to parents claiming EYFSG sessions; all other children will be charged at a full day or half day rate. For further information on the 15 hour free sessions please contact the nursery manager on +44 (0)1270 654655
