More details on all the types of funding the government offers and how to apply can be found at https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk
You will be asked to sign a parental agreement. You should ONLY claim for the number of hours you know your child will be attending and no more and you MUST state on your Parental Agreement whether your child is attending another setting, and how many funded hours are being claimed. If your child is absent from nursery then the hours will be used to hold your child’s place open, however if the nursery is closed for example an emergency or a training day then the hours will be given back to you at our earliest convenience.
Please be advised that in some circumstances EYEE/FEET hours may need to be altered to ensure staff to child ratios. Notice to any change of hours will be given.
