I welcome enquiries from families interested in using their eligible funded childcare hours at Kayleigh's Little Grove. 

​

Government-funded childcare helps eligible families access early education and care. I aim to offer a flexible arrangement that works for each family, subject to available places and the requirements of the funding scheme. 

​

How many funded hours can my child receive? 

Depending on your child's age and eligibility, they may be entitled to 15 or 30 funded hours per week for up to 38 weeks of the year. Eligibility and the number of hours available depend on the relevant government scheme. Working-parent entitlements require the appropriate eligibility code where applicable. 

I may be able to offer all or some of your child's entitlement, depending on availability and the attendance pattern we agree. 

​

Opening hours and funded sessions

Kayleigh's Little Grove is open Monday-Friday 08:00-18:00, for 46 weeks per year. 

Funded sessions must be agreed in advance. I will discuss the available days, times and funded hours with you before confirming a place. 

​

Are funded hours free? 

Yes. The funded entitlement hours themselves are provided free of charge to parents. 

Additional private hours, optional consumables and optional activities are separate. You will be given clear information about any charges and the alternatives available before agreeing to them. 

Parents may choose whether to purchase optional consumables or supply their own suitable items. 

​

Reserving a funded place

To enquire about a funded place:

1. Con​tact me to discuss your child's age, eligibility and your preferred attendance pattern.

2. Where applicable, provide your valid funding eligibility code. 

3. We will discuss availability and the funded sessions I can offer. 

4. Complete the required registration paperwork and parental declaration before the funded place begins. 

5. Agree in writing to any optional extras you choose to purchase. 

​

Equal access and additional needs

I aim to provide an inclusive environment where children are supported according to their additional needs. Choosing not to purchase optional extras will not affect a child's access to their funded entitlement or the quality of their early education.
