This funding applies to all families in England with 3 and 4 year old children. The funding offers:
● 15 hours of free childcare and early education for 38 weeks
● A total of 570 hours per year
At Unique Academy, every 3 and 4 year old child in our Nursery class as well as 4 year olds in our Reception class will receive 15 hours free funding. This will cease at the end of the term in which a child turns 5 years old.
Parents/Guardians can only accept one offer of a free part-time Nursery place. Therefore, it is not possible for a child to have a free Nursery place at our school in the morning and a free Nursery place at a different school in the afternoon or vice versa.
Funded early education hours are offered during our nursery session times. At Unique Academy, Nursery sessions run from 8:40am to 11:40am (morning session) and 12:30pm to 3:30pm (afternoon session).
Each session provides 3 hours of early education. Parents can choose to use their child’s funded entitlement through morning sessions, afternoon sessions, or a combination of both sessions, subject to availability.
Funded hours are delivered over 38 weeks of the academic year in line with the school term dates.
Funded early education hours cover 15 or 30 hours per week for 38 weeks of the academic year, depending on eligibility.
Parents who require childcare beyond their funded entitlement may purchase additional nursery hours.
The fees for non-funded childcare are as follows:
| Type of Care | Fee |
|---|---|
| Additional nursery hours | £9 per hour |
| Full-time nursery place | £450 per month |
Additional hours must be paid monthly in advance on the 1st of each month.
Parents are able to access their funded early education entitlement without purchasing additional hours. Any additional hours are optional and subject to availability. Participation in any additional activities or services offered by the nursery is optional, and parents will always be informed in advance if there is a charge.
We charge an admission fee of £150. Parents of nursery pupils are eligible for a refund once their child has attended 7 days of Nursery class.
Parents and guardians are expected to provide their child with personal consumables required for their daily care while attending nursery. These may include:
Nappies
Wipes
Sun cream
Spare clothing
There is no additional charge for these items from the nursery, as parents are responsible for supplying them for their child where needed.
Unique Academy offers a range of optional additional services and activities which are not included within the funded early education entitlement.
Breakfast and after school club provision is delivered by our wraparound care provider and is available to families who require extended childcare.
Breakfast Club: £5.50 per session
After School Club: £7.50 per session
These services are optional and charged separately from nursery provision.
From time to time, the nursery may organise educational trips and outings to support children’s learning and development.
Annual contribution towards trips: £90 per year
Participation in trips is optional, and parents will be informed in advance of any planned visits.
Parents who choose to access funded hours only are not required to participate in these additional services or activities.
