Government Funding

  • Please note in most cases funded places are not free and additional charges apply

    3 and 4 year olds 

    Universal Funding:All 3 and 4-year-olds in England receive a maximum of 570 hours of government funded early educationfrom the term following a child’s 3rd birthday. This is used over the full 51 weeks we are open and equates to a maximum of 11 hours a week. This is applied for automatically by the nursery. A local government funding contract needs to be completed at least 2 months in advance. 

    Extended hours Funding:Some parents of 3 and 4-year-olds may be entitled to the Extended Funding; an additional 570 hours per year. This, when spread out over the 51 weeks we are open, equates to a maximum of 22 hours a week when added to the universal funded hours. Please visit www.childcarechoices.gov.uk for more information to see if you qualify and how to apply.  

    2 year olds 

    From April 2024 children of working parents can apply for 570 hours of government funded early educationfrom the term following a child’s 2nd birthday. Again, this is used over the full 51 weeks we are open and equates to a maximum of 11 hours a week.
