Our shared vision is to work together with parents and each other in the States and private sectors so we can provide the very best education and care for the children in the Bailiwick.
We aim to nurture young children so they are confident, happy and excited to learn. We hope our children will grow up to be caring and productive members of our society.
Children who experience high quality early years provision are well placed to achieve better outcomes throughout their school life and beyond into employment.

Assisted Funding
- The Assisted Place Funding is for vulnerable 2-3 year olds (and exceptional rising 2 year olds) before they access their 15 hours funding the year before they start school. The Health Visiting Team are the main referrers, however any professional working with a family who feels they meet two or more of the criteria can apply for assisted funding. The Assisted Place Panel meet every other month and if funding is agreed, contact will be made with the referrer and preschool/nursery to ascertain if space is available and if they can accommodate the child and their requests. Parents are then asked to make contact with the preschool/nursery to complete the registration forms as required by the preschool/nursery plus the States of Guernsey Declaration form.
