Funding & Childcare Support
Making quality childcare affordable
We understand that childcare can be a significant expense. We offer funded places for eligible families, helping children access high-quality early education while supporting parents with the cost. If you’re eligible, funded hours are deducted directly from your fees.
15 hours for eligible 2 year-olds
Some 2 year-olds qualify for 15 funded hours a week in term time, decided by your local authority. Your family may be eligible if you receive certain benefits, such as Universal Credit, Income Support, Jobseeker’s Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance, or Child and Working Tax Credits (income limits apply).
- Up to 15 hours per week
- Up to 570 hours per year

A full breakdown of any additional charges is available on request.
Extra Support
Additional funding for families who need it
Beyond the standard funded hours, further support may be available for your child.
Disability Access Fund (DAF)
For children who receive Disability Living Allowance and a funded early education place. DAF helps us make reasonable adjustments and provide extra resources for your child’s individual needs. If your child receives DLA, please speak to our management team.
Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP)
Extra funding to support the learning and development of eligible children, used for additional resources, language and communication support, targeted help and enhanced learning opportunities. Our team will help check whether your child qualifies.
SEND support funding
We’re committed to an inclusive setting for every child. Support for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities can include individual support plans, SENCo involvement, referrals to external professionals and additional inclusion funding where appropriate.
Tax-Free Childcare
Save on fees the funding doesn’t cover
Many working families save through the government’s Tax-Free Childcare scheme. For every £8 you pay into your childcare account, the government adds £2, up to the annual limit.
Tax-Free Childcare can often be used alongside your funded hours, depending on your circumstances, so it’s well worth checking.
Need help applying?
Childcare funding can feel confusing. Our team is happy to check which funding your child may be eligible for, explain how funded hours work, guide you through applications and answer any questions about costs.
You can also check your eligibility on the official government site at childcarechoices.gov.uk.
