EYE funded hours (Early Years Entitlement)
We offer the EYE funded hours scheme for eligible* families, as follows:
- Free hours are available from 3 - 6pm each day for eligible families who opt only to attend nursery between these hours each week
- Families can opt to book sessions outside of our 'free' sessions, whereby EYE funding can be applied across the core hours of 8am to 6pm, and a £2.10 per hour enhanced provision supplement** is applied to these funded hours.
- We offer up to 22 hours*** per week funded hours for children aged from 9 months old (funding is applied by the government from the term after the child turns 9 months), until they reach school age
- 11 hours*** of funding per week is available for children aged from 2 years of families receiving some additional forms of support
- For all children aged 3-4 years 11 hours*** per week of funding is available (this is not additional to the 22 hours per week of funding for eligible families)
- For our children who are eligible for Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP), additional funding is available for our setting which supports the quality of their early education
- The nursery is also able to access the Disability Access Fund (DAF) to support our eligible children.
Tax-free childcare
The nursery accepts tax-free childcare payments which for eligible working parents, gives a £2 top up for every £8 that you pay towards childcare
Minimum bookings
We have a minimum booking requirement of three core sessions per week, to help settling in, and in order that visits become a regular part of the child's weekly routine.

Breakfast: 08:00-08:20 £1.30
