The government currently provides up to 30 hours of term time only funding for eligible parents.  To see if you qualify please visit:

​

At Childcare at The Laurels, we spread this funding out across the year, providing you with 51 weeks of Government assistance (11.18 or 22.35 hours a week retrospectively).

​

Additional Support  (FEEE2)

Lower income families and/or those requiring additional support may be eligible for 15 hours funding, term time, from the term after a child turns two.  Please refer to https://www.beststartinlife.gov.uk to see what is available to your family.

​

Tax free Childcare

We  also accept Tax Free Childcare payments. These save the average family around 20% off their childcare bill. This is available from birth and includes payments you make right the way through to reception.
