Children are eligible for Nursery Education Funding from the beginning of the term commencing after their third birthday. Children are eligible to 570 hours of funding on a rolling year, the grant is calculated over a 38 week period but as we are open 50 weeks of the year we spread it across this period which means eligible children are entitled to 11 hours per week of Universal funding. Children eligible for Extended hours funding is an additional 10 hours per week and is based on application through childcare choices, this would be a total of 21 hours of funding per week combining Universal and Extended hours.

Children in receipt of 2 year old funding will receive 10.5 hours of funded sessions. Once they reach the term after third birthday terms below will apply.

Charges for funded sessions relates to that part of the session NOT covered by the Nursery Education Grant and for services that are not linked to the Nursery Education funded place.
