Dear Parents/Carers 14/03/2017 The time has come for us to begin to plan for September and we ask you what sessions you would like for your child. Our opening times will remain the same as before, and for those children who are eligible for the free entitlement funding will again have fifteen (15) hours funded per week. The Government is planning to increase the free entitlement funding per week from 15 to 30 hours for all 3 and 4 year olds from this September. This will be for families where both parents or the single parent is working and each parent earns the equivalent of 16 hours a week at the national minimum or living wage (this will be the equivalent of £120 a week for over 25’s) and earns less than £100,000 a year. Parents will be required to apply for the additional 15 hours of free childcare through HMRC (more information will follow once we have some!) As a reminder our standard hours are: - Mornings- start at 9:00am, finish at 12:00, – Afternoons start at 12:00pm, finish at 3:00pm, All day – start at 9:00am, finish at 3:00pm. If you would like to use our Early Start time, then drop off in the morning will be from 8.30am at the rate of £2.50 for the half hour. Our fees are currently £4 per hour, following a review this will be raising to £4.10 per hour from September. If your child will be staying all day you will need to provide a pack lunch or a hot meal from the School kitchen can be ordered for an additional cost. Please indicate on the form attached the hours you would like for your child and return by the 24th March as we will then open all remaining hours to children on our waiting list. Hours will be allocated on a first come first served basis and once we have heard back from everyone we will send out confirmation of the hours your child will be attending. Many thanks Jo Clarke, Manager and Katie Clark, Office Manager
