How do I apply?

​

If you think you are eligible, please fill in the form which is in your Admissions pack  and return it to nursery staff with the supporting evidence.  This will allow us to claim the additional funding.  We receive 53p per hour per eligible child and this additional money can make a significant difference.

​

We can use this additional funding to improve the quality of the early years education that we provide for your child.  This could include, for example, additional training for our staff on early language, investing in partnership working with our colleagues in the area to further our expertise, or supporting staff in working on specialised areas such as speech and language.
