Admissions
For children aged 6 months to 4 years.
From September 2025, 15 hours for eligible working families will expand to 30 hours, meaning eligible working parents can now apply for 30 hours of childcare from the term after your child turns 9 months until they reach school age. Please use link provided to check eligibility: https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/
If you currently receive 15 hours for working families, just reconfirm as usual and the code will work for the 30 hours offer in September, providing you remain eligible and your provider has confirmed your new attendance pattern for your increased hours.
* Please Note we only offer 2, 3 or 5 day places which must be consecutive – beginning or end of week – i.e 2 day places Mon and Tues or Thur and Fri; 3 day places Mon, Tues and Wed or Wed, Thur Fri.
