______________________________
Sandcastles is eligible to provide Free Early Years Entitlement sessions, starting the term after your child’s third birthday.
The maximum number of funded sessions per term is defined by Lancashire County Council and can be split between a maximum of two Early Years providers.

We aim to deliver funded sessions as flexibly as possible - we are able to spread funded sessions more evenly across the year as we are open 51 weeks.
Any other sessions, lunches, early arrivals etc will be charged at our current rates.
Paying for childcare is a considerable expense for parents and it is vital that you are aware of all the help that is available. There are several options to consider, including the use of tax credits, employer childcare vouchers and your entitlement to free sessions under the Nursery Education Funding scheme for 3 and 4 year olds. For more details and help on establishing what funding you can access please visit: http://www.familyandchildcaretrust.org/help-with-childcare-costs
Currently the government is planning how to introduce further funded hours for working parents. They propose to start the enhanced hours offer in Sept 2017. Lancashire is currently consulting parents on how best to implement the increased hours please comment - see right. ->
