For Admission to our School Nursery 2024-2025
We offer 15 hours’ free childcare for children in our Nursery Class each week during term time. Parents can also apply for the option to increase this to a full-time, 30 hour place (based on the school admissions criteria and where places are available). If the following criteria do not apply, additional sessions will cost £20 for each extra morning or afternoon.
A full-time, 30 hour place would require parents to either:
- be eligible for 30 hours’ funding and apply for a code from the HMRC website
(see below for more information)
or - demonstrate that their child is eligible for Free School Meals (to reduce the cost of additional sessions to £10)
(contact the school office to check eligibility)
or
- be a child of a service family (to reduce the cost of additional sessions to £10)
or
If you are eligible for the 30 Hours’ Free Childcare funding you need to apply for it here - https://www.gov.uk/sign-in-childcare-account and enter your information. The process may take up to 20 minutes to complete. You will then be provided with a code which you can send to the school office.
For a place in our Nursery Class from September 2024, parents must complete the school's Supplementary Information Form (SIF) and return this directly to the school office by Friday 21st June 2024. You do not need to apply through your local authority for applications to Nursery.
Parents will be notified of autumn term Nursery places from Monday 1st July 2024.
Please do not hesitate to contact the school office (office@stbarnabasprimary.org.uk or 020 7186 0152) if you have any questions about this.
