TDA 3.2-1.1
Summarise entitlement and provision for early year’s education. Thanks to the Every Child Matters and the Childcare Act 2006 all 3 and 4 years olds in England receive free part-time (12 ½ per week) for 38 weeks a year. This is government funded and the idea is for all children to have 2 years of free education before they even start school.

The Foundation Curriculum in England and Wales runs from age 3-5 and is therefore implemented in nursery schools right up to the end of the autumn term in Year 1.

Foundation and trust schools are run by their own governing body and determine admissions in conjunction with the Local Education Authority. The school and grounds will be owned by the governing body or a charitable organisation. Trust schools form charitable trusts with an outside partner, usually a business and will
