We understand that childcare funding can sometimes feel complicated. Our team is here to help you understand the options available, explain how funded hours can be used and find an attendance pattern that works for your family.
Old School House Nurseries offer families the option to spread funded childcare across 51 weeks of the year, rather than limiting funded hours to the 38-week school year.
Because the total annual entitlement remains the same, stretching funding means using fewer funded hours each week over a longer period. This can help create a more consistent attendance pattern for children and families throughout the year.
The exact number of funded hours available each week will depend on your entitlement and agreed attendance pattern. Our team will explain how your stretched funding works and what this means for your child’s sessions before their place is confirmed.
Eligible families may also be able to use Tax-Free Childcare towards their nursery fees.
For every £8 paid into a Tax-Free Childcare account, the government adds £2. Families can receive up to £2,000 a year for each eligible child, or up to £4,000 for a disabled child.
