Free early education for 3 and 4 year olds
Parents are able to claim free early education at St Hilda’s Nursery the term after their child turns 3 years. We offer 15 hours free funding, spread over 5 days for 3 hours per day.
We offer two options:
- Our current and preferred nursery session is 8.15am-12.00pm. The cost for the extra part of the session is £12 per day, invoiced in advance. This can be paid for using childcare vouchers.
- Alternatively your child may just attend for the 15 funded hours from 8.30am-11.30am. Any changes to this should be made on a termly basis.

A parent declaration form must be completed in order to receive funding.
