Funding Support
Universal 15 hour funding for 3 and 4 year olds:
Every child is eligible for government early education funding from the term following his or her third birthday. This universal free entitlement provides a maximum of 15 hours per week over 38 weeks of the year (term time). Funding for 3 and 4 year olds may be split between two different early years settings, to a maximum of 15 hours per week.
15 hour funding for 2 year olds:
In addition, we are registered with Essex Early Years and Childcare to receive funding for 2 year old children who meet the criteria for this entitlement. Funding for 2 year olds can only be claimed at one setting – unlike the funding for 3 and 4 year olds, it cannot be split between 2 settings.
