Nursery Education Grant Funding for 3 & 4 years olds
The local Education authority offers all 3 and 4 year olds a free education place, and eligible 2 year olds. Normally, the grant will pay for a maximum of 15 hours of education each week during term time.
We are also registered to apply for the new 30 hours funding if you are eligible, and we are able to split this with another provider if your child is part time at another preschool (e.g., FS1 Pangbourne Primary or Whitchurch Preschool.
Further information is available from the playgroup.
