Nursery

Children are able to start at our nursery from the term after their 3rd birthday. For example, if your child turns three during the Autumn Term, they would begin with us in the Spring Term.

Eligible working families can receive 30 hours of free childcare each week, which includes the universal 15 hours plus an additional 15 hours of funded childcare. If your child qualifies for the 30 hours, you will not be charged for the extra 15 funded hours. Please note that lunchtime sessions are not included within the funding and will be charged separately.

If your child is not eligible for the additional hours, you are welcome to purchase extra sessions should you wish.

Costs

• 15 hours funded childcare:
  There is no cost to you for your child’s 15 hours of flexible funded sessions.
  If your child stays during lunchtime, there is a £2.00 supervision fee, and they will need to bring a packed lunch.
• Additional sessions:
  If your child begins attending before their funding starts or you wish to purchase an additional session, the cost for an extra 3‑hour session is £13.50.

Any additional costs for sessions or lunchtime provision will need to be paid before each term begins.

If your child is entitled to 30 hours of free childcare, please make sure you apply for your childcare code through the Government website once you have been offered a place at Bonnygate: Free Childcare for Working Parents: Overview - GOV.UK

Please note we’re unable to secure your child’s 30‑hour place without this code, so please apply as soon as possible.

If you wish to apply for a place at our Nursery, please complete the application form below and return it to the school so that we can put your child on our waiting list. We will contact you as soon as your child is eligible to attend and a place is available.

Please be aware that while we offer fully flexible sessions, this is dependent on availability, and we may not always be able to guarantee your preferred session choices.
