15 hours a week if your child is 9 months to 2 years old (this is 15 hours per week for 38 weeks per year)

Funding for 3 & 4 year olds is for 15 hours for 38 weeks per year. Some children are entitled to 30 hours (with a minimum attendance of 3 days per week except by agreement). Fully funded places are available for term time (38 weeks). Time not covered by funding is charged using our hourly rate. Optional extra charges are made for provision over and above the basic childcare paid for by this funding, such as meals, a health and hygiene package and extra-curricular activities.
