Free early learning for two year olds
We can
provide upto 570 hours of early education
funding for 50 two year olds across the authority each
year.
Free early learning for three and four year
olds
Children aged three and four years old (from the funding period
after their third birthday) can get free early education from many
North Somerset agreed/registered providers. This provision is
inspected for quality by Ofsted.
Information for parents and
providers is available within the lists of
frequently asked questions. We have also produced an
page that contains
forms that providers can download.
The information about
funding for providers explains the process for claiming (known
as the North Somerset Code of Practice). This supplements the
guidance provided by the Department for
Education in the national code of practice.
