The change of age range has been agreed by the governing board of Derwent Lower School in Henlow to allow the school to take children from the age of three years old, from September this year.

School business manager, Ann Lennox, said that this is in response to demand from parents due to the government introducing 30 hours of free childcare to working parents for 3 to 4 year-olds from this September.
