At St Bede’s, we continue to offer 30 hours tax free childcare.

Eligibility is available for parents on the HMRC 30 hours free childcare website. https://www.gov.uk/30-hours-free-childcare Please click on this link to check your eligibility.

If you are eligible, please follow the steps carefully and once completed, you will be given a 11-digit validation code.

You will then need to bring the validation code, your national insurance number and your child’s birth certificate to the school office. Your eligibility will then be verified with the Local Authority. Each child that qualifies is entitled to 30 hours per week tax free childcare. Please note that we are only able to confirm the offer of a 30-hour place once we (school) have verified the eligibility code provided by HMRC.

 The 30 hours tax free childcare will be available for your child from the term after their 3^rd birthday.

Please note the 30 hour session times do not include the lunchtime period and should you wish for your child to stay for lunch at school an additional cost will be incurred. (Currently £3.00 lunch cover per day and £2.20 per day should your child want a school dinner)

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the school office by telephone
