Government Funded Places
All settings registered to accept government funding (detailed in the code of practice) must offer up to 15 hours per week nursery provision places for children aged three to four years old, as specified by the local authority. The Arc is an approved childcare provider and proudly takes part in this scheme. If your child is two, or between three and four years old and lives in England, you’re entitled to 15 hours Free Early Education Entitlement childcare per week for 38 weeks of the year (during term time). This comes to a total of 570 hours over a 12-month period.
We offer 8 spaces to 3–4-year-olds and 2 spaces to 2-year-olds Free Early Education Entitlement at the nursery; this is offered across 5 mornings (9am till noon) and includes morning snacks, nappies and wipes. These spaces are subject to availability and will be allocated on a first come basis.
We also offer additional spaces available for parents who require extra hours of childcare above the free 15 hours. Parents will have to pay for any additional time added on top of the free 15 hours of childcare. Meals, snacks, and nappies will be provided free of charge for any additional hours purchased and you will be invoiced monthly for these.
