  • Have an income of less than £100,000 each per year.

 

If you are approved for 30 hours, you will be offered your first 15 hours across 5 mornings or 5 afternoons, and can take your additional 15 hours across the remaining mornings or afternoons to make a full 30-hour week.

We offer daily sessions from 09.15 – 15.15, Monday to Friday, and extended sessions from 09.00 – 15.30 for a fee of £3.00 per day.
