--- title: "Free Early Education" url: "https://margaretmcmillan.islington.sch.uk/free-early-education" school: "Margaret McMillan Nursery School" --- # Free Early Education Margaret McMillan Nursery School offers funded early education places in line with current government and Islington Local Authority guidance. All 3 and 4 year olds are entitled to 15 hours of free early education from the term after their third birthday. This can be increased to 30 hours for eligible working families using a valid Working Entitlement Code, or by accessing additional paid hours where available. Eligible 2 year olds can access 15 hours of funded provision by applying for a government support code via the Citizens Portal. Some eligible 2 year olds may also access up to 30 hours through the Working Entitlement scheme. Funded hours can be used within our core term-time provision or as part of our all year round places, depending on family needs and availability.
