Government Nursery Education Funding
We receive Nursery Education Funding for eligible 2-year olds (to start the term after their 2nd birthday) for a maximum of 15 hours per week, (38 weeks per year).
From September 2024 this funding will also be available to eligible babies over 9 months. Your child becomes eligible for funding the term after they are 9 months.
Nursery Education Funding is accessible for all 3-4 year olds the term after they turn 3 for 15 hours per week and for eligible 3 and 4 year olds for 30 hours per week.
For more information on funding please visit:
www.childcarechoices.gov.uk or speak to the nursery manager.
Please note that any meals taken, or hours booked in addition to your Nursery Education Funding will be privately invoiced as per the nursery price list. Trips or activities will also be charged privately.
We offer the Nursery Education Funding to be taken either:
- during term time only (38 weeks per year) as 15 hrs/ 30 hrs per week (the 30 hours depends on eligibility), or
- in some of our nurseries, stretched throughout the year, receiving fewer hours per week but covering some of the school holidays, please speak to your Nursery Manager for further information.
