Working Parent Funding

Many families are now able to apply for 30 hours per week x 38 term time weeks [total: 1140 hours]. Please visit 30 hours free childcare - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) to see if you are eligible for the 30 hour entitlement. At Station House Nursery we offer you the opportunity to split the funded hours of funding across 48 or 51 weeks of the year to provide you with the most feasible option. 

 Where to apply: Please visit Apply for 30 hours free childcare - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) to check your eligibility and to apply, you will need to create a Government Gateway ID Account in order to proceed. 

Recommended time to apply: 

15th October - 30th November (If your child turns 9 months between 1st September and 31st December) 
Funding to commence: Term starting on or after 1st January.

15th January - 28th February (If your child turns 9 months between 1st January and 31st March)

15th June - 31st July (If your child turns 9 months between 1st April and 31st August)
Funding to commence: Term starting on or after 1st September. 

 You can apply outside of these recommended dates but you might not receive your code in time. You must have a valid code by the end of the month before a new term starts. 

 The funding will be accessed by the Nursery on your behalf on the completion of a 'Free Early Years Entitlement Declaration Form' (which will be distributed to you when received from the local authority) and a copy of your child's birth certificate.

You must also reconfirm your eligibility every 3 months. If you apply more than 3 months before the terms starts, you'll have to reconfirm your eligibility in your account in order to keep your code valid. 

Please note: For those only accessing their free funded hours and making no payments for additional hours or sessions, there will be an additional charge of £1.50 per hour to cover consumables, meals and resources not covered by the funding.

For more information please contact the Manager, Helen.
