The Parent's Complete Guide to Nursery Funding
Childcare funding can feel confusing.
There are different schemes, changing rules, eligibility criteria, deadlines, codes, top-ups and funded hours – and most parents are left trying to piece it all together themselves. That’s why we’ve created Your Complete Guide to Nursery Funding: a clear, parent-friendly guide to the childcare support available in England.
Childcare may not cost as much as you think...
Many families are paying more for nursery care than they need to – not because support isn’t available, but because the system can be difficult to understand.
Inside the guide, we explain the main childcare funding options in simple terms, including who qualifies, when funding starts, what each scheme is worth, and what steps you need to take next.
No jargon. No guesswork. Just a practical guide to help you make sense of your options.
