Our Nursery

At Amington Heath Primary School we offer nursery provision for children from 2 years of age.

Children age 2 start in Little Learners - a self contained nursery unit.

From the term after their third birthday, children move into Nursery 2 which prepares them for Reception by beginning to intergrate them into some aspects of school life. 

Nursery sessions are £15 for a half day or £30 for a full day.

All children are entitled to 15 hours (or 5 half days) free childcare from the term after their 3rd birthday.

Working parents in Staffordshire could receive 30 hours a week of funded childcare for their 3 and 4 year old children.

The 30 hours childcare offer doubles the existing 15 hours childcare funding currently available to all 3 and 4 year olds and could save working families up to £5,000 a year.

What's the criteria?

Each parent (or lone parent) earns at least the minimum equivalent of 16 hours a week at the national minimum wage or national living wage, this equates to earning at least:

• £120 per week (or £6000 a year) for each parent aged 25 years and older.
• £112.80 per week (or £5800 a year) for each parent aged 21-24 years
