Fees, Funding and Sessions
ALL children are eligible for 15 hours of Nursery funding a week from the term after they turn 3 years old, this is called the "universal offer". Working parents of 3 and 4 year-olds may be eligible for an extended entitlement of an additional 15 hours, (often called 'Working Parent Entitlement' or WPE). From September 2025, working parents of 2-year-olds may also be eligible for 30 hours a week of nursery funding from the term after their child turns 9 months old.

Some families of 2 year olds may also be eligible for 15 hours of funding from the term after they turn 2. This is called, Early Learning for 2 year olds, (formerly known as FEET Funding).
