Funded Childcare

We offer 30-hours funded childcare for eligible 9-month to 4-year-olds.

Funded Childcare (30 Hours)

The government’s 30-hours funded childcare helps working parents with costs.

You’re usually eligible if:

  • You earn at least the equivalent of 16 hours a week at National Minimum/Living Wage
  • Your annual adjusted net income is under £100,000
  • You’re employed, self-employed or on parental leave
  • Your child is aged 9 months to 4 years

You can receive up to 30 funded hours per week over 38 weeks of the year. Apply online through the government portal, reconfirm every 3 months and share your code with us. Please note: funded hours cover childcare only – meals, nappies, wipes and extra hours/consumables are charged separately.

You may also qualify for Tax-Free Childcare (up to £2,000 per child per year) or further help through Universal Credit. We’re always happy to chat through your options! 💰✨
