Funding

Fifteen hours of Nursery funding is available for all children in the term following their 3rd birthday.  Your child will be able to access the Nursery across five morning or afternoon sessions (we are unable to offer a combination of sessions).

Depending on individual circumstances your child maybe entitled to 15 hours 2-year-old Nursery funding (you can find more information on the Childcare Choices website).    If your child is not entitled to this we charge £18 for each 3 hour session and recommend that your child does not do less than 3 sessions.

An EY2 Parent Declaration form is required to be completed in either instance before your child can start with us.

30 hours funding maybe available dependent on individual circumstances, please contact us if you would like to discuss 30 hours funding for your child.  

30 Hours Funding

If you are eligible, 30 hours is available for 38 weeks of the year (just like the existing 15 hours scheme). 

You, and any partner, must each expect to earn (on average) the equivalent of working 16 hours a week at your national minimum wage (£125 at the National Living Wage, less if you are on the National Minimum Wage)

If you, or your partner, are on maternity, paternity or adoption leave, or you're unable to work because you are disabled or have caring responsibilities, you could still be eligible.

You can't get 30 hours free childcare if you, or your partner, expect to earn £100,000 or more.

Your child can start in their childcare place the term after they turn 3 years old and have received a valid 30 hours code, whichever is later. Term start dates are 1st September, 1stJanuary and 1st April.

You may get asked for further information as part of your application, so apply well ahead of the start date for each term.

To keep your 30 hours free childcare place, you need to check your details are up to date every 3 months.

The 30 hours free childcare offer is not intended to cover the costs of meals, other consumables (such as nappies or sun cream), additional hours or additional activities (such as trips). Providers may charge a fee for these additions. If you choose to pay for these it is an arrangement between you and the childcare provider. However, you must not be required to pay any fee as a condition of taking up a 30 hour place and must be offered alternative options.

If you are not eligible for 30-hour funding, you can purchase an additional 15 hours for £67.50 per week, payable in advance.
