Early Years Education Entitlement (EYEE)
Whitehill Nursery School is registered with OFSTED to deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and therefore can claim the Early Years Education Entitlement (EYEE) from East Sussex County Council.
This entitlement will pay towards a maximum of 5 x 3 hour sessions a week over 38 weeks a year.
Flexibility & Discounts
Whitehill Nursery School offers the flexibility that you can claim your free entitlement as either mornings, afternoons, full days or a combination of all three.
DISCOUNTS
We offer 5% discount on fees for
- Brother/Sister – 2nd and subsequent child attending the Nursery School at the same time.
- NHS Staff
Choosing your EYEE
Please note, if you choose to use your EYEE entitlement as six hours over one day (i.e. AM and PM session) then there is a 30 minute period 11.30am-12pm (‘£5.60 lunch charge’) which is not covered by the EYEE entitlement.
This 30 minute time period is referred to as ‘lunch’ as it takes into account the supervision of any children staying to eat their lunch during this time.

If your child is not entitled to EYEE or you wish to have additional sessions above your child’s entitlement, the following rates apply.
