When can my child start claiming funding?
The Government has introduced new funding for eligible 2 year olds and 9-23 month olds from September 2024. Families can apply for the funding from May 2024. Children become eligible for age-specific funding in the term following their relevant birthday (or month, in the case of 9 month olds). Their birthday must be before 31st March for funding from Summer Term (April), 31st August for Autumn Term (September) & 31st December for Spring Term (January). For more information about funding please refer to our funding and bursaries page.Do you accept tax-free childcare?
Tax free childcare is a method of paying childcare costs (including your nursery invoice) which provides a significant saving each month. It can be used alongside both 15 and 30 hours of funding. We accept tax-free childcare as a payment method at all of our settings. You will first need to apply for tax-free childcare here. Once set up, you can find your setting by searching for the postcode or the Ofsted registration number. Full details of eligibility can be found here. However, the eligibility criteria follows that of 30 hours funding closely. Unlike 30 hours funding it is available to all nursery age children. Once paired to your setting, you can pay your invoices using the tax-free childcare system - either full or partial payments of your invoice are possible.Do you accept childcare vouchers?
For those still receiving childcare vouchers, we still accept all major providers. If you are unable to find us with your provider it is likely because we are not set up with that provider but we are always happy to do so. Contact your nursery manager who will have this set up for you.
