Our core hours are, Monday to Friday 9.30 am to 12.30 and 12.30 to 3.30, these can be taken in the following ways:
Please note, the earliest we accept admissions is the term in which the child's 3rd birthday falls.
3 and 4 year old Universal Funding Entitlement
In the term following their 3rd birthday your child will be eligible for 15 hours universal entitlement, places are offered for 5 three hour sessions per week, across our core hours (9.30 - 12.30 and 12.30 - 3.30) and can be taken in any combination you wish providing the sessions required are available.
There will be no charge for a child's first 5 three hour sessions with us unless you have previously claimed funding from another provider, in this case any non-funded hours will be charged at our current hourly rate. The funded hours to which you are entitled will be determined by Surrey County Council's Funding Early Education Team.
You may choose to split your hours with another childcare provider however if you are sharing the funding with another setting it could affect the ability to claim your full entitlement. In this case any non-funded hours will be charged at our current hourly rate.
2, 3 and 4 year old Working Families 30 Hours Funded Entitlement
Some working families may be eligible for 30 hours of funded childcare. Eligibility for this is determined by HMRC; please visit www.childcarechoices.gov.uk for full information.
We offer families with a valid eligibility code up to 30 funded hours across our core 30 hours (9.30 - 12.30 and 12.30 - 3.30).
If you are claiming the 30 hours entitlement and lose your eligibility your funding will continue until the end of the current grace period as determined by the DfE. Thereafter West Byfleet Nursery will endeavour to honour your child's entitlement to the 15 universal hours in the term following their third birthday and thereafter. However, the sessions offered will be determined by the nursery based on current availability.
If your funding is split between settings the split must be agreed between yourself and both settings involved. If we are unable to contact you during the grace period to finalise these details your child's place with us will be withdrawn completely once this period ends.
Paid Sessions
These sessions can be taken in conjunction with the funded entitlements or in the term in which the child's 3rd birthday falls, before their entitlement starts. Current session rates are listed below. All sessions are subject to availability.
Extended nursery hours
These are optional paid hours which can be taken should you wish to extend your nursery day.
Our early morning sessions.
There are two options each morning;
Breakfast Club
This session runs from 8 am until 9.30am and includes breakfast (choice of cereal, fruit and toast). This session must be pre-booked, either by term, for regular attendance, or by midday of the day preceding the session required for an ad hoc booking.
Bright and Breezy
For those wishing to start at 8.45 until 9.30am, this session can be pre-booked or just turn up on the day.
At the end of the day
We also offer the option to pick up your child at either 4.15pm, or 6pm (Penguins - which includes tea) rather than 3.30pm. As before these additional sessions must be pre-booked. This can be done by term or on an ad hoc basis. Bookings must be made before midday on the day to ensure we have staff available to care for your child.
Please note: Penguins (6pm pick up) will not run on the last day of each of the three terms. (Autumn, Spring and Summer)
NB : Two year olds starting with us will not be able to attend Penguins (6pm pick up) until they turn three yers old.
All extended nursery hours bookings will be invoiced as follows:
Regular bookings will be included in the current half term's invoice.
