15/30 Funding Guidance
We want to provide some important information about how the 15/30 hours of government funding works at Fairyland Nursery.
Can I use 15/30 hours of funding at Fairyland Nursery?
-Yes, we accept 15 and 30 hours of funding from the government if your child is registered for full year-round. However. we do not offer term-time-only sessions, you must be registered for the full year-round.
When can I use the funding hours?
- The government funding is available for 38 weeks of the year only.
- 15 hours of funding can be used towards 3 morning sessions (from 7:30 am to 12:30 pm) or 2 school sessions (from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm)
- 30 hours of funding can be used towards 4 school days sessions (from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm)
When can I use the entitlement from?
| When your child turns the relevant age | When they can get their hours from |
| 1st January to 31st March | Term starting on or after 1st April |
| 1st April to 31st August | Term starting on or after 1st September |
| 1st September to 31st December | Term starting on or after 1st January |
Is there any additional fees?
- Additional fees are applied to the funded sessions (Please ask for the price list)
- Extra hours must be booked in advance and are charged at £16 per hour.
What happens during half term and holidays?
- During half-term breaks and other holiday periods, government funding does not apply because it is only attended for term time.
- The standard nursery fee will apply during the half-term breaks (as the funding cannot be used)
What do I need to do next?
- Before applying for a funded place, please ensure you have the government funding code ready.
- To register your child's place at Fairyland we ask for a completed application of care form, a £100 registration fee, and a deposit of a one-month fee.
- To cancel your place 6 weeks' notice is required, and on your last day, your deposit be refunded to your account.
Example:
- Term-time (38 weeks): your child is entitled to 15/30 funded hours per week.
- Half-term weeks (13 weeks): During these weeks you will be charged the standard nursery rate.
We hope this clarifies how the funding works at Fairyland, but if you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
