15-30 Hours Entitlement

All nursery aged children are entitled to 15 hours of free early education.  At St George's,  for the academic year starting September 2024, we provide this provision from 8.45am to 11.45am or 12.30pm to 3.30pm each day.  

                                                       

We also offer 30 hours of high quality free early education, led by a qualified teacher,  to eligible families.  The 30 hours childcare is designed to help working families by reducing the cost of childcare and to support parents/carers into work or enable them to work more hours.  We believe that the additional time at our setting also helps to further develop your child's readiness to start school.

Should you wish to take advantage of the 30 hours offer, the hours will be between 8.45am and 3.30pm, for the academic year starting September 2024.  

Information about the 15 and 30hrs provision and how to apply for 30hrs can be found on the Childcare Choices website.
