Places for 3 and 4 year olds
Currently we offer term time only, funded, part-time places (15 hours) with some funded full-time places (30 hours) to children before they go to Primary School. Funded full-time places (30 hours) are not available to all; the eligibility criteria will be discussed with you at the admissions meeting. Where children are not eligible for full time places parents/carers have the option to pay. You can find out more about the help available with funding your childcare on the new government website Childcare Choices. At Maytree the part time 15 hours will be either a morning or afternoon place for 4 days per week and the 5th day will be a longer day, from 9.20am-3.20pm, once your child is settled. A full time place is 9.20am- 3.20pm, Monday to Friday. In individual circumstances we can offer flexible options alongside the possibility of paying for additional hours.
These funded spaces are from the term following the child's third birthday. However we usually have only one intake of children, in September. This means that your child must turn 3 between the beginning of September and the end of August prior to starting. If there are spaces, children may start at any other time during the year.
