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.
All nursery children benefit from our fantastic specialist music and PE provision.
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
