Nursery Funding

In the term following your child’s 3rd birthday s/he will become eligible to claim Nursery Education Funding.


Currently all 3 to 4 year olds (and eligible 2 year olds) in England can get 570 hours of free early education childcare per year, known as the Universal Funding Entitlement.


Eligible parents in England will be able to access the Extended Funding Entitlement, with 1140 hours of free early education childcare per year.


We offer the funding on a stretched basis only, up to a maximum of 22 hours a week over 51.5 weeks of the year we are open (including bank holidays).


The funded hours are accepted between the hours of 9am to 5pm.


It is our responsibility to ensure that the funded childcare hours are free to parents. The nursery receives the grant funding from Rutland County Council every term. The wraparound hours or additional services (i.e. ‘paid for’ sessions) are calculated by the nursery based on our fee structure, with payments required monthly.
