Did you know that you can spread your funded hours from 38 weeks to 51 weeks per year? By using fewer hours each week, you can spread your childcare throughout the year, for example:

⏰ 15 hours per week would become 11.18 hours per week.
⏰ 30 hours per week would become 22.35 hours per week.

Did you know there are costs that government funding doesn't cover?
Government funding supports parents with childcare costs, but there are essential extras that it doesn't include, such as:

🚌 Days out and extracurricular activities
🍎 Meals and snacks
🧴 Nappies, wipes, and sun cream

We're committed to transparency, so all essential extras will be discussed during your nursery visit!
