Seaton Academy Nursery
Seaton Academy offers all successful applicants 15 hours of government-funded free nursery education over 5-morning sessions for 38 weeks. We accept government codes for those eligible for free childcare for 15 or 30 hours from the term after your child turns 3.If you are not eligible for funding, Nursery care is still available at a cost of £5.00 per hour and £3 for lunch. The sessions run from 9.00am to 12.00pm and 1.00pm to 3.00pm with lunch from 12.00pm until 1.00pm.
We are now delighted to offer Government-funded 15 hours of Nursery provision from the day your child turns 3 years old (for those with an eligible code). This would be a great opportunity to introduce your child to our Nursery earlier than the usual intake dates. If you are not eligible for the 15 hours code Nursery care is still available at a cost of £5.00 per hour, and £3 for lunch. Those using 15 hours codes, can also ‘top-up’ or extend care at the same rate. The minimum attendance is 3 mornings per week (9 hours) up to a maximum of 30 hours per week (5 full days). We would require 1 week's notice of your requirements.
