Funding Options
2-3 year olds
Starting September 2025, working parents of two-year-olds are entitled to 30 hours of government funding.
Eligibility
You (and your partner if applicable) are required to work equal to 16 hours a week at minimum wage over each 3-month period to be entitled to the government funding.
If you are not working, you may still be entitled to this funding if for example you claim certain benefits or if your child has an EHCP or is a 'looked after' child.
All information is available at:
Homepage | Childcare Choices
Funding Options 3-4 year olds
All children are entitled to 15 hours government funding from the term after their 3rd birthday (1st January, 1st April or 1st September). We will do this for you, and there is no action you need to take unless you begin working, and then we require the 30-hour funding code.
The eligibility for 30 hours funding for 3-4 year olds is the same as for 2 year olds, if you believe you are eligible for this, you must apply here:

Sessions highlighted in blue are sessions that go over our lunch club, which requires parents to provide their child with a lunchbox.
We do not charge any extra top-up fees for those using funded hours, and we do not charge additional fees for snacks or activities provided within the Preschool. Although we promote children attending more sessions throughout the week to prepare for the school timetable, we do not require a certain number of sessions per week. If you would like to start with your child attending only a single session each week, we are happy to provide that option.
Everything is included in our fees, and there are no hidden costs or expectations in the care and education we provide for your child.
