Funding & Tax-Free Childcare

3 and 4-Year-Olds

All three and four-year-olds in England are entitled to 15 funded hours a week, because of these funded hours being term-time only we can offer these hours at 11 funded hours per week all year round. This is automatically applied for by us and is applied the term after your child’s third birthday.

Additional 15 Funded Hours (30 Hours)

Some three and four-year-olds may be entitled to an additional 15 funded hours giving them 30 funded hours in total. If your child is entitled to 30 funded hours, these are term-time only but again we can spread these out across the whole year equalling 22 funded hours per week.
