This equates to 15 or 30 hours a week for 38 weeks of the year to mirror school terms.<\/p> All the free entitlements can be \u201cstretched\u201d by taking fewer hours per week over up to 52 weeks of the year to cover term-time and the school holidays and free places can also be delivered at weekends (for example, 23 hours a week for 48 weeks of the year).
