Funding for 3 and 4 year olds

Parents are able to claim free early education at Abbot’s Hill Nursery the term after their child turns 3 years old. We offer two options:

If your child attends Stepping Up all year round, your child will be entitled to what is known as a ‘stretched offer’ whereby they receive 11.4 hours of funding per week (up to a maximum of 2.28hrs per day they attend) stretched across 50 weeks per year until they leave the nursery.

If your child attends Stepping Up on a Term Time only basis, your child will be entitled to 15 hours of funding per week (up to a maximum of 3 hours per day they attend) across 34 weeks of the year until they leave the nursery.
