Fees, Funding and Sessions

Our Nursery is open during term time only. We offer 15 or 30 hour places plus optional top up sessions.

We provide fully funded places or parents can pay for sessions if their child is not yet eligible for the funded hours.

Nursery Session Options 

• 15 hours - Mornings - Monday to Friday 8.40am - 11.40am daily
• 15 hours - Afternoons - Monday to Friday 12.10pm - 3.10pm daily
• 30 hours - Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 8.40am - 3.10pm, Wednesday 8.40am - 12.40pm
• 32.5 hours - Monday to Friday, 8.40am to 3.10pm daily

We offer fully funded Nursery places with no hidden charges. Parents who can claim the early years funded entitlement can take their funding between the main Nursery opening hours. If your child is not old enough for funding or does not meet eligibility for the extended entitlement, parents will be offered the opportunity to pay for a place at our Nursery.

Please note you may also be able to access other financial support towards your childcare costs, such as tax-free childcare and employer schemes.

ALL children are eligible for 15 hours of Nursery funding a week from the term after they turn 3, this is called the "universal offer".

Working parents of 3 and 4 year olds may be eligible for an additional 15 hours a week, an extended entitlement and often called "30 hours funding". Please visit the Best Start in Life website for full details on early years funding: Best Start in Life | 30 Hours Free Childcare, Tax-Free Childcare and More | Help with Costs | GOV.UK

Parents of 2 year old children may also be eligible for funding towards nursery hours. Please visit the Best Start in Life website for further information Homepage | Best Start in Life and also the Oxfordshire County Council funded childcare wesbite link is Family Information Service | Childcare Support Expansion - Parents
