Understanding Your Childcare Funding Options

We recommend that all families visit www.childcarechoices.gov.uk to explore the funding support you may be entitled to.

Here’s a quick overview of what’s currently available:

  • All families are entitled to 15 hours of funded childcare for 3 and 4-year-olds.
    Working families may be eligible for:
  • An additional 15 hours for 3 and 4-year-olds (30 hours in total).
  • 15 hours for 2-year-olds.
  • 15 hours for children aged 9 months and above (from September 2025).

Please note:
We do not offer term-time only places. We deliver year-round, high-quality care and learning. Funded hours are offered across the year, and we charge for meals, consumables, and enrichment sessions to ensure all children — funded and fee-paying — receive the same consistent standard of education and care.

See our fee sheet to understand your personalised costs based on your funding eligibility.
