Government funding & entitlements

Our Term-Time and Yearly Approach

Government funding helps parents with the cost of early years education and childcare. This support is divided into three entitlements, each with its own eligibility criteria. The government provides early years funding to make quality childcare more accessible. There are three types of entitlement, depending on your child’s age and your family’s circumstances.

The different types of entitlement

There are three types of government funding available to support families with early years education and childcare. These include the Universal Entitlement for all 3–4-year-olds, the Working Parents’ Entitlement for eligible working families, and Targeted 2-Year-Old Funding for families receiving additional government support. Each offers flexible funded hours across the year.

What is FE-Only placements?

Our Term-Time and Yearly Approach

Parents who choose not to purchase the Enhanced Provision Package can opt for an FE-Only Placement. This allows families to access their funded entitlement hours at no additional cost. However, these placements exclude the extra services and experiences included in the Enhanced Provision Package and are subject to separate terms and conditions.

Stretching Funded Hours

Weekly Allowance

Universal Funding provides 11.18 hours per week, and Extended Funding offers 22.36 hours, with up to 10 hours usable daily.

Hours

We offer up to 10 funded hours per day at no cost, following set patterns for added family flexibility.

Additional

Hours beyond your FE are charged at our standard hourly rate for the remainder of the session.

Enhanced

To ensure consistent quality, parents contribute towards extras not included within funded hours.
