We offer a limited number of term time only contracts for customers, particularly for those who work term time. These spaces will be limited and can be requested via Ms Hulin. Our term time offer will coincide with Herefordshire’s term time dates (not Powys). You would still be able to book your child into nursery during the holidays, for additional days, providing we have space.

NURSERY EDUCATION FUNDING

Universal funding of 15 hours per week (term time only) is available to all children in the term after their 3rd birthday and can be claimed until the child starts Reception class. Extended funding (up to 30 hrs) can be claimed by working parents. For those living in Herefordshire, please apply via Childcare Choices, for those living in Powys, please apply via the Childcare Off for Wales at Ceredigion County Council.

From September 2024 we will be offering 'stretched' funding over 51 weeks of the year. Please note we do not offer shared funding with another setting.
