Donhead is included in the Local Authority Directory of non-maintained providers eligible to claim funding for the provision of free nursery education places. We are, therefore, eligible to receive the Nursery Education Grant. As part of the application process our Reception Class provision will be regularly inspected by OFSTED. These inspections will ensure that we are abiding by the Code of Practice requirements for Early Years Education. These reports will be distributed to you.
Eligibility applies to all 4 years olds and the grant is paid for the 3 terms following your son’s 4th birthday. Eligible parents pay the full Donhead fee and then the grant is refunded to you.
