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 – Primary Education in Wirral’ available from

The Children and Young People’s Department,
Hamilton Building,
Conway Street,
Birkenhead,
Wirral,
CH41 4FD

or by calling 0151 666 4486/4221/4240.
