The Nursery has access to all eligible Government funding, however all families will have some fees to pay.

The key points for the different types of funding which families at Fielding Nursery may typically be able to access, according to eligibility, are outlined below.

For a full explanation of funding available, eligibility criteria and the application process visit 'Childcare Choices'

Universal 15 hours Government funded childcare

For all families in England:

• 15 hours of Government funded childcare or early education for 38 weeks
• 3 and 4-year-old children from the term after the child’s 3rd birthday which must fall before the relevant cut-off date in order to receive the funding in the following term. These dates are:

31st August for the Autumn term (September – December)

31st December for the Spring term (January – March/April)

31st March for the Summer term (April – July)

Fielding Nursery will access this funding and apply it to fees, reducing the cost to pay. Funding can only be used for morning and afternoon sessions during term time and can be used flexibly between two childcare providers if preferred.

Additional 15 hours Government funded childcare

For families where:

• both parents are working (or the sole parent is working in a lone parent family)
• each parent has a weekly minimum income equivalent to 16 hours at national minimum wage or living wage (£183 per week minimum) and neither parent has an income of more than £100,000 per year.

Additional eligibility applies to:
