Our outstanding Bowerham Nursery School currently has spaces for 2, 3 & 4 year olds. This is very unusual for our setting and has given us the opportunity to promote our availability of places. Please spread the word within our community.
Families receiving government support
If you receive any of the following benefits or you are working and on low income as detailed below:
- Income Support
- income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)

- Universal Credit – if you and your partner are on a low income from work (usually a combined income of less than £15,400 a year after tax)
- guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
- Child Tax Credit, Working Tax Credit (or both), AND your household income is £16,190 a year or less before tax
you can apply for an eligibility check with us to take up a 15 hours’ funded place for your two-year old. See how to apply to submit your eligibility check.
If you’re a non-UK citizen who cannot claim benefits please see no recourse to public funds for more information on how to apply.
Working families
You may be able to get free childcare for your child aged 9 months to 4 years old if you live in England.
The amount of free childcare you can get depends on:
- your child’s age and circumstances
- whether you’re working (employed, self-employed, or a director)
- your income (and your partner’s income, if you have one)
- your immigration status
