Attendance
Children can start from the term after they turn 2 years of age (space permitting). Your child will be offered a minimum of three sessions a week which can be increased in subsequent terms. Children in their second term may bring a packed lunch and stay from 9am until 3.45pm depending on availablility. All children receiving government funding are expected to take their full 15 hours of funded early years sessions. We encourage children to attend a mix of morning and afternoon sessions.
