How to apply

Apply for 15 hour places as usual through the Stockport Council Website by clicking here.

You can register and apply for your 30 hour code through your childcare service account. If eligible you will be issued with a code which you will then need to bring to Nursery. Nursery will then allocate 30 hour places if they are available.

Tax-Free childcare

Tax free childcare is a new UK wide government scheme to help working parents with the cost of childcare and will be launched from early 2017. As a school we signed up to receive payments from parents using this account. For parents to apply for 30 hours free childcare they will need to open a childcare service account. This is a single online application for both 30 hours and tax free childcare. More information can be found by clicking here.

 

Timings of the Nursery day

The 30 hour offer at Reddish Vale Nursery will be 8.40am-3.00pm Monday to Friday.
