Nursery Funding Options

Government  Funding

The Government funds Local Authorities to offer subsidised early education places in settings inspected by Ofsted.

For children aged 9 months to 4 years. Eligible working families can apply for 30 hours of childcare to use from the term after their child turns 9 months until they reach school age. 

We want to make sure that families use their funding to its full potential and this is why we stretch the funding across the whole year (52 weeks) rather than term time (38 weeks).
