FUNDING
Local Authority Funding 3&4 year (FEEE)
The term after a child turns three they become eligible for the Government 3&4 year funding. All parents currently qualify for 15 hours Universal funding, term time. This is currently available to all families. Dependent upon your family income you may also qualify for the Additional 15 hours funding, making a total of 30 hours, term time.
At Childcare at The Laurels, we spread this funding out across the year, providing you with 50 weeks of Government assistance (11.4 or 22.8 hours a week retrospectively).
Additional Support (2 Year)
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.childcarechoices.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.
