St Monica's Nursery welcomes children from the day of their second birthday up until they are ready to move to Reception Class. We are able to have up to 28 children per session including a limited number of places for 2 year olds. If you would like to register your interest please use the link below to complete an enquiry form. If you have any questions please feel free to contact the Nursery Office. 

Early Education Funding (EEF) 

Some 2 year old children are entitled to up to 15 hours funding, the term after their 2nd birthday. This is based on strict eligibility criteria and must be applied for through Warrington Borough Council.

All children become eligible for EEF the term following their third birthday. Every child is eligible for the universal 15 hours EEF per week up to a maximum of 570 hours per academic year. This is regardless of parental/carer’s income or working status. 

Working parents, who fulfil the eligibility criteria, are entitled to an additional 15 hours EEF per week (called ‘extended entitlement’), up to a maximum of 1,140 hours per academic year. 

Irrespective of whether you are claiming 15 or 30 hours EEF, all parents/carers must complete a Parent Declaration Form. This allows our Nursery Leader to claim the EEF from Warrington Borough Council on your behalf. 

Parent Declaration Forms are available from our Nursery Office, without a signed Parent Declaration Form on file, you will not receive any funding. 

We try to be as flexible as possible to suit the needs of our children and families. Parents/carers, whose children enroll at the nursery before they become eligible for the EEF, will be invoiced for their sessions termly. 

Where children exceed their 15 or 30 hours EEF per week, parents/carers will be invoiced for the additional sessions termly.

3 & 4 Year Old Extended Entitlement

You may be eligible for a further 15 hours of free childcare if you (and your partner) each earn a minimum of the equivalent of 16 hours a week at the national minimum wage, or minimum wage and less than £100,000 a year. 

You can check your eligibility and apply for your 30 hour code at www.childcare-support.tax.service.gov.uk . It is important that you reconfirm your circumstances every 3 months to keep this support active.

Eligibility dates:

Having a 30 hour code does not mean your child is eligible to start their 30 hour place. The table below explains cut off dates by which you must have a valid code to start your 30 hours the next term.

If you miss your 30 hour application deadline, the funding will start the term after you have your 30 hours. Eg, birthday on 20th August, apply for 30 hours on 1st September, 15 hours funding from 1st September but 30 hours not until January. You can not start a new funded place within the grace period, so in some cases you may need to reconfirm your details before you can use your code.
