Little Learners can offer Nursery sessions between 7.30am and 6.00pm for 50 weeks of the year. We are closed for two weeks at Christmas and for Bank Holidays, fees are not charged for the days we are closed.

We are pleased to welcome children from 2 years – 4 years for paid or funded sessions, or indeed a combination of both. If you are unsure of what kind of funding you may be entitled to please click here to visit the ‘Childcare Choices’ website for further information.

Early Years Education funding information 

How does the Early Years Entitlement work at Little Learners?

Little Learners provides parents with options of how they would like to access their child’s Early Education entitlement (government funded hours). There are three options for parents to choose from before choosing to enrol their child. We recommend parents read this carefully and take time to ask the Nursery any questions they have prior to enrolment.

Option 1 provides parents with the choice for their child to attend their Early Education hours, fully funded with no additional charges, extras or consumables. There is no limit to the amount of fully funded places available to families at St Anne’s and Castle Batch. These sessions are offered on half days, mornings or afternoons; 9.00am – 1.00pm or 1.00pm – 5.00pm. Sessions are subject to availability.

Options 2 and 3 provides parents with the choice for their child to attend their Early Education hours in longer ‘Short Day’ day sessions, with the agreement on enrolment to a £4.00 per day consumables charge. Options 2 and 3 allow parents the choice to pay for additional hours, if they wish for their child to attend more hours per day between 7.30am and 6.00pm. Sessions are subject to availability.

What are the unfunded dates?

Little Learners we are able to offer funding over 47.5 weeks of the year meaning that there are some part or whole weeks of the year that funding is not available. Parents/carers will be invoiced for any sessions that would usually be covered by funding during the unfunded weeks to allow your child to attend their usual booking pattern.

We are pleased that many of the unfunded days fall on Bank Holidays or at Christmas when Little Learners Nursery is closed and fees do not apply, therefore parents are unaffected by these unfunded dates.
