Menu HomeAbout UsAll Day Nursery Provision All Day Nursery Provision Hillcross Primary School provides nursery education for 3 and 4 year olds for 15 hours per week, starting in the term after they are three, under the Governments Free Early ‘universal’ education offer. Some children are also eligible for an additional 15 hours free nursery education each week, known as the ‘extended entitlement’. This offer is available to working families and means that when combined with the ‘universal’ offer, your child could have free nursery education for 30 hours each week. To check your eligibility for the ‘extended’ entitlement offer you can visit the Childcare Choices website (childcarechoices.gov.uk). If you are eligible, you will receive a DERN code which you will need to share with the school. At Hillcross Primary School, our school Nursery is open from 8.30am to 3.15pm. Therefore, there is an additional 45 minutes per day that parents who wish to apply for all day nursery provision will need to pay for. There is an additional charge of £25 per week for each child that must be paid in order to make use of the ‘extended’ entitlement at our school. We also offer families not eligible for the extended entitlement the option of paying for additional hours so that their child/ren can also attend our Nursery class from 8.30am until 3.15pm. Children taking this option would need to attend every day at a cost of £120 per week - this is calculated at a daily rate of £24 for each additional session. For parents who need childcare before and after school, we have our own breakfast and after school club called ‘The Copse’ which operates 7.30am until 8.45am and 3.15pm until 6pm. There is an additional cost for this service. Please click on the link in the right hand drop down box on this page for more information.
