The government has introduced 30 hours of funded childcare to children over the age of 9 months. There are certain criteria you must meet to be eligible for the funding of which you must apply online, through the government website: https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/ If you are eligible, you will receive a validation code which we will need to process your claim for the funding.. Please note for 3 year olds: if you are not eligible for the 30 hours you may still be eligible for the free 15 hours as this is a universal entitlement. Our current nursery rate for a non funded day is £60 and £30 for half a day.
