15 and 30 hours Free Educational Entitlement.

Children become eligible for the Universal 15 hours and Extended 15 hours the term after their 3rd Birthday. At this point, you can choose to attend nursery Term Time only. Please let us know as soon as possible if you intend to do this.

At Home Farm we do not stipulate when you can access your free hours, i.e by only offering afternoons as your free sessions. You can access your sessions in any combination, i.e. 2 mornings and 2 full days, or 3 full days or if your child attends another setting you can split the hours between the two.

If you are applying for the Extended 15 hours you will need to apply online at www.gov.uk/30hours-free-childcare. You will create an account and be given an 11digit code to pass to the Nursery for checking. This account will need to be updated with your details at certain times of the year to confirm your circumstances have not changed and you are still eligible.
