Funded childcare is more than financial support. It is an opportunity for children to explore, learn and build strong foundations for the future. At QCE Nurseries, we see every day how funded hours make a genuine difference to family life.
A Wonderful Start for Babies from 9 Months
Working parents can receive 30 funded hours per week for babies from 9 months old. Even at this young age, children benefit from time in a nurturing environment with caring educators and engaging activities.
Important Support for Two Year Olds
Two year olds can receive 15 or 30 funded hours depending on their circumstances. These early years are full of rapid development. Funded nursery places help children communicate, socialise and grow in confidence.
Strong Foundations for Three and Four Year Olds
All children aged three and four can access 15 funded hours per week. Working parents can receive up to 30 hours. These sessions give children a wonderful chance to build school readiness skills and develop friendships.
Why Parents Value Funded Places at QCE Nurseries
• Children enjoy stimulating play based learning
• Families receive financial relief at a time when costs can feel overwhelming
• Routines become easier and more predictable
• Parents gain confidence knowing their child is happy, supported and learning
