Universal Early Years Funding (15 hours) for 3 and 4 year olds
We offer the government’s Universal Early Years Funding, which provides up to 15 hours of funded childcare per week for all children from the term after their 3rd birthday until the term in which they turn 5.
At our school, these funded hours are allocated as 3 hours each morning (9:00-12:00) Monday to Friday during term time. Please note that the 15 hours of funding only covers part of our standard fees and additional charges apply. If you are interested in accessing only the 15 hours, please contact our Admissions Team, as spaces for this option are limited.
Important: We are currently not registered to offer places under any other government childcare funding schemes.
Childcare Vouchers and Tax Free Childcare
We accept both Childcare vouchers and the Government Tax Free Childcare scheme to pay for Wrap around care and may be used towards paying invoiced fees for Nursery and Pre-Reception only.
Sibling discount
There is a sibling discount (fees only) of 5% for a second child and 10% for a third child attending St Christopher’s, Chinthurst, Reigate St Mary’s, Micklefield School or Reigate Grammar School at the same time.
