All children in England are entitled to receive a free early years education place from the 1 September, 1 January or 1 April following their third birthday.
Free early years education sessions can be taken as part of a normal Ark day or can be used solely within the session times. The sessions can be extended by booking wrap-around care. Our funded sessions take place daily between the hours of 9am – 12pm and 1pm – 4pm. Children that attend for free early years education receive the same Ofsted rated ‘outstanding’ level of care and attention that all children at our nursery do.
In order to obtain these sessions at The Ark, and/or to discuss your specific requirements, please contact the Nursery Manager.
