As a childminder I am registered with Ofsted and the Local Authority and I can therefore offer the government funded hours.
What is 3 & 4 year old funding?
Universal Funding - Every 3 & 4 year old is automatically entitled to 15 hours of funded hours per week the term after their 3rd birthday.
Extended Funding - The additional 15 hours funding is also known as the '30 hours funded childcare'. This is an extension of the 3 and 4-year-old funding. Unlike the universal entitlement, you must match the eligibility criteria. If you are found to be eligible you will be given a validity code. This will let you claim up to an additional 15 hours from an approved provider.
Funding is also for some 2 year olds please ask for details
I accept Childcare vouchers and I am signed up to several companies, please ask for further details.
