Early Years Funding:

The government has introduced new ways to help parents with childcare costs. 

2 to 3 year olds:

 If your child is between 2 and 3 years old and you receive financial support you could be eligible for 15 hours of funding per week. If you are working, you could be eligible for up to 30 hours of funding per week. To find out if you qualify, go to https://www.beststartinlife.gov.uk/childcare-early-years-education 

If your child is eligible, you will receive a reference number, please pass this reference number to Samuels Christian Nursery to verify.

3 and 4 year olds

All 3 & 4 year olds can receive up to 570 hours of funded childcare per year and this is spread across three funding blocks with a maximum of 15 hours per week. The Autumn funding block runs from 1st September – 31st December, The Spring funding block runs from 1st January – 31st March, The Summer funding block runs from 1st April – 31st August.

Children will be able to start claiming from the funding block following the child's 3rd birthday 

30 hours of funding

If  both or the lone parent are working you may qualify for the Extended 30 Hours Childcare. To check eligibility, go to https://www.beststartinlife.gov.uk/childcare-early-years-education.
