Foundation 1
From September 2017, our F1 provision will be offering 30 hour funded places for eligible 3 & 4 year Olds.
All 3 and 4 year olds can get 15 hours of free childcare per week regardless of household income.
From September 2017, your child may be eligible for 30 hours of free childcare!
The government will be providing 30 hours free childcare for working parents of 3 & 4 year olds, to support working families or families entering work who meet government set criteria.
The additional 15 hours free entilement on top of the existing universal proviosion of 15 hours will be avaliable to families where:
Both parents are working (or the sole parent in a line parent family);
Each parent has a weekly minimum income to 16 hours at a national wage or living wage; and
Neither parent has an income of more than £100,000 per year.
to find out if your child is eligible for a 30 hour funded place please go on the website www.childcarechoices.gov.uk or ring 0300 123 4097
We will be offering 30 hour funded places in line with our current Foundation 1 sessions that run from 8:50am until 11:50am and 12:40pm until 3:40pm. Children can bring a packed lunch into school but care over lunchtime is free. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer F1 children school meals.
For parents who do not qualify for a 30 hour funded place, your 3 or 4 year old will still be eligible for their core 15 hours per week, morning or afternoon sessions and additional sessions can still be purchased at £14 per session subject to availability.
If you think your child is eligible for 30 hours funding and you would like to use this in our setting, please contact us through the website or phone the school office on 0151 677 4088 between 8:30am and 4:30pm Monday to Friday. Please ask to speak with Mrs Jones our EYFS lead.
