EYEE Funding
Children can receive Early Years Education Entitlement. The funding starts from the term after their third birthday, dependant on the cut-off dates of 1 September, 1 January and 1 April and ends when they reach compulsory school age, this being the term after their fifth birthday.
St Andrew’s Prep offers this entitlement. The free entitlement for all three and four year olds is a maximum of 15 hours a week during term time only.
The school requires that nursery sessions are booked and arranged on a termly basis. Parents can of course increase the number of sessions that their child attends during the term, however, for three and four year olds, EYEE sessions cannot be added after the Headcount Day which is stipulated by East Sussex County Council at the beginning of each term. Therefore, any additional sessions are charged at the full rate.
It is possible to claim from more than one setting (Nursery) as long as the claim does not exceed 15 hours each week. It is necessary to state this on the parental agreement form which is sent out to parents before the start of each term.
East Sussex Council will not allow funding to be transferred from one provider to another unless the correct required notice has been given to the current provider as set out in their terms and conditions.
