30 hour free Childcare for 9 Months to 2 year olds
From September 2025, the government will be extending the 15-hour entitlement to 30 hours for 9 months to 2-year olds. As such, we plan to reduce our charges on a pro-rata basis for eligible families i.e. we would not charge for the first three days of booked days per week and the fourth day will be charged at a reduced rate (during term time). We ask parents to note the full charges apply for non-term time bookings. To access this funding, you will need to register: see link below
Are you eligible?
To be able to take up 30 hours of early education for your 9 month to two-year-old child you must meet the eligibility criteria. Please visit https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/ for further information.
You can apply from 1st January, 1st April or 1st September in the term after your child is 9 months old. If you wish to admit your child sooner the full daily charge will be applied.
You will be required to complete a form that provide us with your code, NI number(s) etc and you will also need to reconfirm your code with childcare choices every 3 months.
If your child attends the day care for longer than 30 hours each week, you will be charged as per the charges outlined above. You will also be charged the full rate if your child is booked in for childcare during school holidays.
Applying and Accepting a Place in Our Day Care
We manage admissions directly and all applications are sent to EYAdmissions@marlborough.rbkc.sch.uk
We use the following criteria to allocate day care places when we are oversubscribed:
- Children that are Looked After Children that live in RBKC
- Children of a permanent member of the school staff
- Sibling(s) of pupils who currently attend Marlborough Primary School (by age)
- Age of the pupil (oldest pupils first)
Children must attend for at least two sessions per week.
We will contact you as soon as a place is becoming available, we will then invite you and your child into day care for an induction meeting to meet your child’s key person. At the meeting we will also find out about your child, their routines and how we can help them settle in with us.
As well as the induction meeting your child will spend some time in our day care to begin getting to know their key person and the day care setting and team. Once they are settled it is time to begin their exciting journey of learning at Marlborough
