Lunch club hour can  be taken as part of your 15 hour entitlement.

30 hours funding 

​

From September 2017 working parents who fulfil certain criteria will be entitled to 30 hours of free childcare for their children who are aged 3-4 years. Meadow Nursery is currently able to offer up to 20 hours of free childcare for eligible children from September.

Eligibility can be checked online through an HMRC portal and an eligibility code will be issued. This code will need to be updated every 3 months. 

​

For a September start applications need to be made before 31st August, this is the responsibility of the parents/carers. 

 

Without this code you will be charged for any hours your child attends over 15 hours.

 

The following web site provides a comprehensive overview of how parents can get help with their childcare costs. It also includes the HMRC link to apply for an eligibility code.

Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND)

 

All children are unique and some children require a little extra support when first coming to nursery.  At Meadow Nursery we are always ready to work with parents to provide that support. If you think your child might need some extra support, or if you have any concerns about your child starting nursery, then please inform us as soon as possible so we can be ready for when they start. This will not effect your place on the nursery waiting list. CHECK OUT OUR LOCAL OFFER!
