Government Funding

 We accept 15 and 30 hours of funded childcare for children aged 2-5 years. As a term-time only setting, we offer the standard level of funding across 38 weeks of the year.

There are 3 levels of funding which you can access:

Early Learning for 2 Year Olds - 15 hours of early learning each week for families in England who get extra support, like those on Universal Credit or children with an Education, Health, and Care Plan.

30 hours funding for Working Families - 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. 

15 hours funding for all families - For children aged 3 to 4 years.

If you are going to access the 30 hour Working Family Funding Entitlement, you will need to ensure you have applied for and received your unique 11 digit code the term before your child’s start date by visiting https://www.gov.uk/free-childcare-if-working/apply-for-free-childcare-if-youre-working
