Woolton Nursery is open to every family in the community and accommodates up to 26 children during any one session. We welcome children regardless of their gender, special educational needs, disabilities, background, religion, ethnicity or competence in spoken English.

At Woolton we offer places for three and four-year free early education. We will not offer places to families until the child’s eligibility has been checked and we have received confirmation. This will be done by:

• Checking the child’s age through their birth certificate or passport
• Requesting the reference eligibility code from the parent/carer
• Completion of a parent declaration form

Three-year-old free early education

Every child is eligible to 15 hours free early education the term after their third birthday. This eligibility remains until they start full time school, by the term of their fifth birthday. This funding is universal and open to all children.

Some three to four year olds are eligible for a total of 30 hours free childcare. This is an additional 15 hours on top of the universal entitlement for three/four year olds.  Parents can check their eligibility for this entitlement on https://www.gov.uk/30-hours-free-childcare

Terms and conditions of the Free Early Education Entitlement state that children may lose their funded place if they do not attend regularly without a reason being provided for their absence. Therefore, if your child has not attended half of their sessions in any half term period (usually 6 or 7 weeks) they will lose their place at the nursery unless they have a valid reason (e.g. letter from doctor in the case of serious illness or holiday). If your child has not attended nursery for 3 weeks without any explanation, we reserve the right to offer their sessions to another child after contacting you and discussing the situation.
