Funding for children aged 3 and 4

Every 3 year old child is entitled to twelve and a half hours of free childcare per week for 38 weeks each year. These free hours can greatly reduce weekly childcare costs.
Ask Susan, our Administration Manager for details on when your child will be eligible, which will be the start of the term following their 3rd birthday, and by how much your fees will be reduced if you take advantage of all the free hours.

Extended funding from September 2009

Gable House Nursery will be able to offer an extension to the free funded places that are currently on offer.
From September 2009, the free hours of care for children aged 3 and 4 will be increased to 15 hours per week. We now have details of the new funding:

• 15 hours per week over a minimum of 3 days for 38 weeks per year
• 10 hours maximum per day
• 13 hours maximum over 2 days

Letters are being sent out to parents and staff will be available to discuss requirements.

It is expected that there will be a high demand for places, so please make arrangements for your child early to secure a place.
