Funded hours
The Early Years Entitlement provides up to 15 hours government funded provision for children who are aged 3 and 4 years old each week during term time. All children are eligible from the term following their 3rd birthday. Some working families will be entitled to claim 30 free hours childcare and we offer this where places are available. In some cases, where a family is on a low income or in recei.
Worth knowing. Parents/carers of children eligible for the EYE funded provision can access up to a maximum of 10 consecutive hours per day. As our maximum opening times are between 08:45-3.20pm hrs the maximum that can be accessed at any one time with us is 6 hours and 35 minutes for 38 weeks of the year. For children in receipt of the funding, a full day from 8.45am-3.20pm will be free.
What childcare usually costs in Lincolnshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Lincolnshire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £43.00 a day still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
