What is Funded Childcare?

We know that covering the cost of childcare isn’t always easy, so we’re really pleased to tell you about the government’s funding available for 3- and 4-year olds.

Designed to give working families up to 30 hours funded childcare a week (1,140 hours per year), it could help you save money towards sessions at Dockside Day Nursery, all year round.

Am I Eligible?

You, and any partner, must each expect to earn (on average) at least £131 per week (equal to 16 hours at the National Minimum or Living Wage).

If you, or your partner, are on maternity, paternity or adoption leave, or you're unable to work because you are disabled or have caring responsibilities, you could still be eligible.

You can't get 30 hours free childcare if either you, or your partner, each individually expect 
to earn £100,000 or more.

When Can My Child Start?

Your child can start in their childcare place the term after they turn 3 years old and have received a valid 30 hours code, whichever is later . Term start dates are 1st September, 1st January and 1st April.

To keep your 30 hours free childcare place, you need to check your details are up to date every 3 months.
To register please go to www.childcarechoices.gov.uk 

Once you have received your code, visit us, call us on 01634 258235 or email info@docksidedaynursery.com.

Every family’s different, so whatever your childcare needs, come and talk to us .  We’ll help you understand how the scheme works and put together a package that makes life easier, and more affordable.​
