Nursery Education Grant
We have had a few queries about the NEG which all three years olds at discovery will be entitled to. Please find some more detailed information below.
All 3 and 4-year-olds in England are entitled to 570 hours of free early education or childcare a year. This is often taken as 15 hours each week for 38 weeks of the year.
Children are eligible from the term after their third birthday.
Your child must be aged three by:
• 31 March to start the summer term (13 April 2015)
• 31 August to start the autumn term (1 September 2015)
• 31 December to start the spring term (4 January 2016)
How does this affect your fees?
If your child occupies a full time space (50 hours a week), you will now only have to pay the rate for 35 hours a week as you child is entitled to 15 hours free. Please see the information below as to the level of fees.
