All children can access up to 5 sessions but must access at least 4.  Families entitled to 30 hours of free childcare (15 Universal & 15 Extended) can access all sessions.

15 hour entitlement:

All children aged between 3 & 4 years are entitled to the Government's universal funding. This allows for children to attend for 15 hours each week in term time. Any hours not spent at Muskham Primary can be transferred to another setting.

30 hour provision (15 Universal Hours & 15 Extended):

Parents should use the online HRMC eligibility checking system at www.childcarechoices.gov.uk to obtain an eligibility code for 15 extended hours. If you experience any problems checking your eligibility please contact the Customer Interaction Centre on 0300 123 4097.

There is  a maximum of 20 places available per session (Jan 2025). These are allocated directly by the school using Nottinghamshire’s ‘Standard Reception Admissions Criteria’.
