In partnership with Bobtails Playgroup, we are able to offer parents 30 hours free childcare provision on the same school site. This is an extra 15 hours per week, to those parents who are eligible, in addition to the children’s existing 15 hours free early education (Nursery) funding.
This provision is offered in the afternoons:
- St Andrew’s Primary (Nursery) – Tuesday and Thursday afternoons (6 hours)
- Bobtails Playgroup – Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons (9 hours)

Parents who are not eligible for the additional 15 hours funding will be able to pay for the afternoon sessions, if they would like their child to attend.
