At St Peter’s Early Years, we are able to offer all 3 and 4-year-old children their entitled Universal 15 hours per week free childcare (38 weeks per year). This takes effect the term after their 3rd birthday. We can provide all prospective parents with the relevant paperwork to apply for this.
In addition, we are pleased to be able to offer the extended 15 hours per week free childcare, subject to eligibility. This could mean your child is eligible for 30 hours funding. For more information and to find out if you are eligible, please follow the links below.
