At Hinguar Nursery we pride ourselves on our flexibility and working in partnership with our families to support what they need when choosing a childcare setting.  Our Nursery has a 2-3 year old room called Turtle Class and a 3-4 year old room called Starfish Class.

We offer both funded and privately funded part-time and full time places for children aged 2 -4 years old. We are a registered provider offering funded nursery places for 2 to 4 year olds.  All Free Early Education Funding applies from the term following your child’s 2nd or 3rd birthday i.e. from 1st September, 1st January or 1st April.  All children aged between 3 & 4 years are entitled to 15 hours free funding and some 3 and 4 year olds are eligible for up to 30 hours free funding a week.

Free Early Education Funding is paid by Southend City Council on a termly basis.  Parents are required to complete a funding form and return it to the nursery before the beginning of each term.

Lunchtime sessions cannot be included within the funded provision and are charged at £6.00 per session. If selecting a lunchtime session, parents have the choice of supplying a packed lunch for their child or purchasing a meal provided by the school at a cost of £2.80 per day.
