NEW FUNDING, Hours and Fees, FROM EASTER 2024
The New Goverment Funding as part of the Childcare Reforms starting after this Easter is giving us an opportunity to change our fees, and hours as well as extend the funding we accept to help parents. See here for the letter explaining changes for our exisiting parents.
From 15th April 2024 we will accept 15 hours of funding for both working parents of two years olds and those in receipt of certain government benefits. We will also accept both 15 and 30 hours of funding for 3 and 4 year olds. (Universal and extended funding)
To bring our hours in line with North Hinksey Primary drop off and collection we are altering our hours to 8.45-11.45 and 12.15-3.15 for the preschool sessions. We will be making a small charge of £5 /£6 (2/ 3-4 yr olds) for the lunch time session 11.45-12.15.
We continue to offer Breakfast Club starting at 8.00 and After Preschool Club ending at 5.00 Monday-Thursday.

Free Early Education Sessions
15 Hours of free sessions available at North Hinksey Preschool.
Full information on the free sessions is available from a leaflet published by the Oxfordshire County Council (OCC), entitled, '15 Hours Free Early Education for three- and four year olds in Oxfordshire'. This is summarised as follows:
As your toddler grows into a young child, you may start to think about what learning opportunitities are available outside your home.
The Early Years Service of Oxfordshire County Council plans for learning and care across Oxfordshire.
From September 2010 all three- and four year old- children can attend for 15 hours per week over 38 weeks of the year (previously 12.5 hours). Your child will have the chance to play with other children, develop their social skills, learn through play, experience new activities and have fun!
30 Hours (extended Nursery Education Funding)

Places are designed to be flexible where possible. In Oxfordshire our local offer of flexibility is for not less than 2 1/2 hours or more than 6 hours in one day. At North Hinksey Preschool the free hours will be between 9.00am & 3.00pm. You will have to pay for any extra hours.
How do I find out more?
You will receive a more detailed version of this information with your Bookstart + pack (available from your health visitor at a two year check, or you can collect the pack from your local library). It gives lots of information on how to choose the best early years education provider for you and your child.
You can also request a copy from your Oxfordshire Family Information Service (OxonFIS).
