Funded Childcare Places
All three and four year olds in England are entitled to 57- hours of funded childcare. This is usually taken as a maximum of 15 hours a week over 38 weeks of the year, in line with Leicestershire’s school term dates, but can be taken as fewer hours over more weeks. Some two year olds are also eligible (please contact Leicestershire County Council or the nursery for more information|)
How do I claim the 15 funded hours?
The funded hours are universal for all three and four year olds, so there is no application process involved.
You will need to complete a Parental Statement of Undertaking (PSOU) this short form gives consent for them to claim your child’s funded hours and allows you to specify which days/times you wish to use them.The nursery will need to see your child’s birth certificate and take a copy for our records.
How do I claim 30 hours funded childcare – check if you are eligible
The extended entitlement is intended to support working parents with the cost of their childcare and enable them to return to work or work additional hours.
Working parents/carers who meet the criteria can get up to 30 hours per week (for up to 38 weeks per year, a total of 1140 hours) of funded childcare.
