Childcare Funding

We offer Universal Entitlement funding of 15 hours of free childcare each week for 3 and 4-year-olds, and this is available from the term after your child's third birthday. If you wish for your child to attend for more than 15 hours there is a flexible balance of full days and morning sessions. Those parents who wish only to access the free 15 hours will be offered 5 sessions from 10.00am-1.00pm, subject to availability.
