We use the following criteria to allocate places to 3 and 4-year-olds:

2. Looked After Children* 
3. Children of a permanent member of the school staff
4. Sibling(s) of pupils who currently attend Colville Primary School
5. Age of the pupil (oldest pupils first)

Full-time funding options for 3 and 4-year-olds in our nursery;

Option A. To accept the nursery place using Option A you will need to check whether you are eligible for the government funding for ‘30 hours of free childcare’. You can apply to HMRC for the 30 hour offer from when your child is 2 years and 36 weeks old.

For your child to access five full time days over the week, we ask that you spend your 30 hour childcare allocation with us and pay £185 per term to top-up the full week, the full week comprises of 31 hrs 40 minutes at school. There are three terms per school year. The termly top-up fee is payable in advance before the start of each term and includes a snack fee. In addition, there is a daily contribution for a school meal.

Your eligibility for the 30 hour offer depends on:

• if you are working
• how much you earn
• your child’s circumstances
• your nationality

To be eligible you will need to meet the requirements set out on the HMRC website, you can check and apply here: https://www.gov.uk/30-hours-free-childcare

If you are eligible to the 30-hour offer, you will receive an 11-digit code that you will need to provide to the school before your child starts, along with your National Insurance Number. You must have a valid code by the end of the month before a new term starts.

During your child’s year in the nursery you will have to reconfirm your eligibility by logging into your HMRC childcare account every 3 months, the school will check this termly during your child’s enrolment in the nursery. If you apply for your code more than 3 months before the term starts, you will have to reconfirm your eligibility in your account in order to keep your code valid. If you become ineligible to the 30 hour offer or if you do not reconfirm your eligibility in time for the start of a new term your funding option will change to a fee paying place (Option B).

Option B. If you are not entitled to the '30 hours of childcare' offer but are entitled to the ’15 hours of childcare’ offer, your child can still attend full time. The charge for this fee paying place is £1770 per term, this includes a snack fee. This can be paid in instalments. In addition, there is a daily contribution for a school meal. There are three terms per school year.
