All 3 year olds in Trafford LA are entitled to free nursery provision for 3 hours a day or the equivalent of 15 hours a week. Therefore, in line with LA guidance, we will offer 15 hour places. Working parents (earning the equivalent of 16 hours per week at the national minimum wage) are entitled to 30 hours (15 existing hours plus an extra 15 hours if eligible) free provision per week.

For those eligible for 30 hours 

Due to changes in legislation, working parents who are eligible for 30-hour provision now have two flexible options within our setting: 

Option 1: Continuous Block (No Additional Charge)

You may use your 30 hours in a continuous block each day from 8.30am to 2.30pm. This option does not incur any additional charges* beyond your funded entitlement. It is essential that your child is collected promptly at 2.30pm each day. 

Option 2: Extended Session (Additional Charge)

If you prefer, you may extend your child's session until 3.30pm each day. This extended provision will incur a charge* of £4 per day (£20.00 per week), which will be billed monthly. 

For paid top-up places,

We will also offer ‘Top up’ places for parents who want their child in nursery over the 15 hours who are not eligible for the 30-hour provision. As you are entitled to 15 hours' free provision, the top-up costs will include provision from 11.30am – 3.30pm (4 hours).   Nursery ‘top up’ sessions will work out at a cost of £16.00* a day, £80.00* for the week. It is preferable that if parents require a ‘top-up’, they have it for the full week. However, at the Headteacher’s discretion, ‘top-up’ sessions could be taken at a minimum of three sessions per week, but they would have to be the same days each week in order that we could plan successfully for this provision.

*Charges relate to fees for provision. All other charges, such as school meals if requested, will be charged separately on Parentpay.

(please see Nursery Charging Policy)

Children who stay for lunch can bring a packed lunch from home or can have a school dinner at a cost of £2.90 a day /£14.50 for the week.

Changing Your Option

Should you wish to change your provision option, we will require half a term's notice to ensure we can accommodate your needs effectively.
