Full-Time Places
The 30 hour funding code is used to pay for your child's full-time Nursery place. If you don't have a code, you will be required to pay for the full-time place.
Who is the 30-hour funding scheme for?
The government has extended the free 15-hours childcare funding to 30-hours for eligible working families. More information about eligibility can be found on the Newham council website.
To check if you are entitled to 30 hour funding, visit the gov.uk website at https://www.gov.uk/30-hours-free-childcare.
What do I do with my 30-hour code?
If you have applied for a full-time place, please provide your 30-hour code to the admissions officer and office manager at the academy before your child starts. If you do not supply a code, you will automatically be charged admission fees.
