Fees, Funding and Sessions

Our Nursery year starts in September and runs through until July, this is called an academic year. Nursery is open 8.45am to 3.15pm Monday to Friday during term time, which supports the school day and our school holiday periods are also the same. 

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 of 8.45am to 3.15pm. If your child does not meet eligibility for the extended entitlement, parents are offered the opportunity to pay for a place at our Nursery. Remember you may also be able to access other financial support towards your childcare costs, such as tax-free childcare. 

ALL children are eligible for 15 hours of Nursery funding (Universal Funding) a week from the term after they turn 3 years old, this is called the 'universal offer'. Working parents of 3 and 4 year olds may be eligible for an extended entitlement of an additional 15 hours (often called 30 hours childcare/Working Parent Entitlement). 

Working parents of 2 year olds may also be eligible for 30 hours a week of nursery funding from the term after their child turns 9 months old.

Other families of 2-year-olds may also be eligible for funding from the term after they turn 2 - this is called FEET funding in Surrey.  You can apply for this online here: Funded early education for two year olds (FEET) - Surrey County Council
