pre-school education per week, up to a maximum of 570
hours per 38 weeks per year. Free early learning is available in

2 months old. Most nursery places need to be booked months
in advance, and the most popular places enrol children as
soon as they are born.

in the education pathway, as it ends compulsory
education and gives students the opportunity to
continue their education. At school, you can

vocational college or start a job.
