Stretched funding for eligible 2, 3 & 4 year old's

The same funding is also available on a "stretched" format which means that by reducing the weekly amount to 12 hours, you are able spread the funding over the school holidays as well as throughout the term. 

 

Please note that there are 4.5 weeks where there will be no funding available which is usually shared between the Christmas period and the end of the summer holidays.

We are able to offer the extended funding on either a term time basis or stretched over 50 weeks of the years.

Areas of support we can offer are as follows, although it will vary for each child 

  • Funded hot meals

  • 1-1/1-2 adult support sessions (10 minute sessions where possible)

  • Additional small group time

These options and others that may be appropriate will be discussed and agreed with parents as well as monitored throughout the term.
