FUNDED CHILDCARE
Quality early education and childcare for all.
We want to help make quality early education and childcare as affordable and accessible as possible. Depending on your child’s age and your family’s circumstances, you may be eligible for government-funded early education and childcare hours.
All three- and four-year-olds are entitled to 15 funded hours per week during term time. Eligible working parents may qualify for additional funded hours, and some two-year-olds may be eligible for funded childcare through additional-support entitlements.
You can find out more and check your eligibility through Best Start in Life (https://www.beststartinlife.gov.uk/).
You can also contact your local council to explore other support that may be available. Families in Redbridge and Havering can enquire about local early years funding and support for eligible two-year-olds.
Our team is happy to help you understand your options and discuss how you could use your funded hours at Foundation Nurseries.
