Government Funding Information

Please read the below information carefully, as the way funding is used can differ slightly between nurseries.

• 15 hours: The government have recently introduced funding for children under the age of 3. For those that are elligible, we will deduct 15 hours from your invoice each week, calculated by our online system ‘Famly’.

• 30 hours: We offer a maximum of 22.5 hours per week stretched across 50 weeks of the year. Families who meet the earnings criteria could be eligible for an additional 15 hours of funded childcare. The extended hours start from the term after parents successfully apply to Childcare Choices or HMRC for an age-eligible child.

Important things to remember

• You can only use a maximum of 10 hours per day (our full day is 10.5 hours)

• If you do not use all of your funding, you cannot claim it back in credit - we have to pay it back to the local authority

• We only allow 30 hour funding to be stretched all year, not term time only

• Term time places are only allocated to teaching staff

• Funding does not begin until the term after a child’s birthday
