The Free Offer Package is a fully funded option, using 15 or 30 hours of Government-funded childcare over the 38 funded weeks of the year. Funded hours cover essential early years care and education, supporting children’s learning, development and wellbeing at no additional cost. This provides access to a full funded entitlement completely free of charge while children receive a high-quality early years experience.

The Free Offer Package is available on a term-time only basis, across the 38 funded weeks each year, with fully funded:

• Morning sessions: 8am–1pm
• Afternoon sessions: 1pm–6pm

Meals and consumables are not included. Parents/carers are required to provide these themselves in line with nursery guidance or opt into our meals and consumables provision for an additional charge.

Spaces are limited and subject to availability.

Our Stretch Packages combine Government-funded hours with additional non-funded hours and include all meals, snacks, consumables and personal care items, together with a range of enhanced experiences and family benefits.
