Funding

We offer places for children eligible for government-funded early education. Families may qualify for 15 or 30 hours of funded childcare, depending on their circumstances.

Key Childcare Support Explained:

  • 15/30 Hours Funded Childcare: Available to eligible working parents with children from 9 months to school age (usually 38 weeks a year).
  • Universal 15 Hours: Available for all 3 and 4 year olds, regardless of income. This equates to 570 free hours per year.
  • Tax-Free Childcare: For every £8 a parent pays into a childcare account, the government adds £2 (up to £2,000 per child/year).
  • Universal Credit for Childcare: Eligible parents on Universal Credit can receive up to 85% of their childcare costs.
