Funding FAQ's

We know that applying and accessing childcare funding can be confusing, but hopefully answering these frequently asked questions should help to provide some clarity. The first place you should go to learn about funding is the Childcare Choices website, which you can find by clicking this link. It is here where you can see the criteria for the funding, and make your application. Please note, funding applications have to be made by you, for your child. Although we will assist where we can, we cannot apply for the funding on your behalf.
All council funding is allocated in terms. These terms are the same as the terms used by Schools. The Autumn term runs from 1st September – 31st December; the Spring term runs from 1st January – 31st March and the Summer term runs from the 1st April – 31st August. Understanding these terms is important in understanding when your child will become eligible for the funding.
