Be aware that the estimates open span 2 academic terms 2024-25 and 2025-26

Please be mindful that from September 2025 all working parents for 9 month + and 2 year old will be entitled to 30 funded hours please take this into consideration when submitting your estimates. Estimates for the Autumn 2025 and Spring 2026 term will reopen to make amendments further in the year (please refer to the important date sheet)
