How to Apply

Checking your eligibility is simple. Visit childcare.gov.uk or speak to our team — we'll guide you through every step. Once approved, simply let us know your funding code and we'll do the rest.

Stretched  Funding

Government funded childcare is typically offered as 15 or 30 hours per week during term time (38 weeks of the year). Many families choose to "stretch" this funding across the full year, which equates to approximately 11 or 22 hours per week over 51 weeks. Spreading funding in this way can help create a more consistent routine for your child, as well as more predictable monthly payments for families.
