Nursery Admissions
In the term after a child’s third birthday, children are entitled to 15 hours a week free care and education during school term time.
Portland Spencer Academy can offer your child one of the following slots:
- Monday – Friday A.M. only 8.45 – 11.45
- Monday to Friday P.M. only 12.15m -3.15
Please note that we are unable to ‘mix and match’ sessions due to the way this will impact other families and children.
We are also able to offer 30-hour places. To find out if you are entitled to this, please visit https://www.gov.uk/30-hours-free-childcare
Our Nursery intake times across the year are:
- September (children born 1st April to 31st August)
- January (children born 1st September to 31st December)
- Easter (children born 1st January to 31st March)
