Whitehill Primary School

Nursery Places

All 3 to 4-year-olds in England can get at least 570 hours of free early education or childcare per year. This is usually taken as 15 hours each week for 38 weeks of the year. At Whitehill, we pride ourselves in the great flexibility in how these hours are taken. Some of our children attend either 5 mornings or 5 afternoons, whilst some complete 2 1/2 days. We are also able to offer top-up sessions at just £13 per session! So your child can attend full time nursery for just £65 per week*, which is a significant saving compared to most private nursery providers.

From September 2017 some parents may be eligible for an additional 15 hours per week.  Here at Whitehill we are accepting children who wish to use their additional hours in a Nursery school setting on a term time only basis.  Parents can use their additional hours at Nursery schools and classes, private day nurseries, preschools, childminders, independent schools and before and after school clubs. To find out if you are eligible please follow the link below. You may also use this link to make an application for the 30 Free Hours.
