Free Early Education Entitlement

Early Education Funding ensures that all three and four-year old’s benefit from quality early years education. Some two-year olds are also able to claim up to 15 hours a week of early education funding through the ‘Two-Year Old Funding scheme’.  Brightlingsea Primary School & Nursery is on the current Directory of Providers which means we are able to provide funded nursery education places to eligible 2-, 3- and 4-year-olds.
