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 St Christopher’s, these funded hours are allocated as 3 hours each morning (9am to 12 noon), Monday to Friday during term time.
Please note: while the 15 hours of funding covers our core childcare provision, additional charges apply for:
- Specialist teaching
- Enrichment activities (such as Forest School)
- Consumables such as snacks
Full details are available in our Fact Sheet.
If you wish to access only the 15 funded 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.
Wrap Around Care (before & after school)
Wrap around care is available from 7.45am to 6.00pm and is charged separately and in addition. Click here for more information.
