Funding


As a registered childcare provider, we offer funded places at our nursery school. 

Government funded hours are provided term-time only (38 weeks per year). Our nursery is open for 51 weeks per year. Therefore, we stretch the funded hours to provide the following:  

15 hour offer = 11.17 funded hours per week
30 hour offer = 22.35 funded hours per week

To apply for the government funded hours, please visit www.childcarechoices.gov.uk to subscribe for updates.

If you are eligible, you will be sent an 11 digit code – please email this code to info@ashleighnurseryschool.co.uk

We will also need your date of birth and your National Insurance number.

From September 2025, the funding offer is due to be expanded. Eligible working parents of children from 9 months to school age will be entitled to 30 hours of funded childcare a week.
