Navigating the various childcare funding options can be challenging for parents. At Creative Kids Emerson Park Nursery in Hornchurch, Essex, we aim to make this process as straightforward as possible. Here’s an overview of the funding opportunities available to support your child’s early education.
Funded Early Education for 3 and 4-Year-Olds
All 3 and 4-year-old children in England are entitled to 15 hours of funded early education each week during term time, totalling 570 hours per year. This universal offer begins from the term after your child turns 3. You don’t need to apply for these hours; simply arrange the placement with us, and we’ll guide you through the necessary steps.
Extended Entitlement (30 Hours Funding): Working parents may be eligible for an additional 15 hours per week, bringing the total to 30 hours of funded childcare. To determine your eligibility and apply for the additional hours, please visit the Childcare Choices website.
Funded Early Education for 2-Year-Olds
Some 2-year-old children may be eligible for funded early education. Eligibility is based on specific criteria, including family income and circumstances. To find out if your child qualifies and to apply, please visit the Essex County Council website.
Tax-Free Childcare
The Tax-Free Childcare scheme is available to working families, including the self-employed, across the UK. For every £8 you pay into your online childcare account, the government will add £2, up to a maximum of £2,000 per child per year (£4,000 for a child with a disability). These funds can be used to pay for childcare at Creative Kids Emerson Park Nursery. To check your eligibility and apply, visit the Childcare Choices website.
