Welcome To Wirral
Nursery Education
All children are entitled to a free nursery education place, currently five
sessions of 2½ hours per session, for a period of 33 weeks.
Children become eligible for this entitlement generally at the beginning of the
term after their third birthday, although this can be affected by the
occurrence of Easter in particular. This entitlement can be taken at a Local
Authority children’s centre, nursery school or class or a pre-school playgroup
or day nursery registered with the Local Authority to offer an early years
curriculum. There are 44 schools with nursery classes, nine Children’s Centres
and one nursery school.
Further information can be found in the booklet ‘General School Information
