Nursery Chargeable Extras and Funded Entitlement Information

Windhill21 Nursery offers funded early education places in line with government entitlement guidance. The information below sets out how funded hours can be taken and details of any chargeable extras, to ensure parents and carers can make an informed choice.

Funded Entitlement

All children attending the nursery are required to attend a minimum of 5 morning sessions or 5 afternoon sessions per week, which are fully funded through the universal 15-hour nursery entitlement. This funding is available to all children.

Parents and carers who require all-day provision may do so by adding additional sessions. These additional sessions can be paid for directly or, where eligible, covered using childcare support funding for working parents
