The Government funds Local Authorities to offer subsidised early education places in settings inspected by Ofsted. We fully participate in offering your child 15 or 30 hours’ funded childcare per week.
Currently, this will commence the term after your child becomes eligible for funding. Local Authority conditions apply. Extended funding for eligible parents will be rolled out in phases in line with government criteria:
From April 2024, working parents of children aged 2 will be able to access 15 hours free childcare.
From September 2024, working parents of children aged 9 months and above will be able to access 15 hours free childcare.
From September 2025, working parents of children aged 9 months and above will be entitled to 30 hours free childcare per week.
