Funded hours

2 year old funding for entitled parents, 3 and 4 year old government funding, 15 and 30 hours free per week.

Worth knowing. Funding for 15 hours for 2 year olds is available under certain criteria and/or you are receiving benefits/child tax credits. The term after your child's 3rd birthday we can offer 15/30 hours free entitlement per week between 8am and pm (dependent upon eligibility).

Outstanding

Ofsted's top grade. The setting was judged to be doing more than is expected of it.

Still missing for Jack in the Box at Brockswood

  • Meals
  • Nappies
  • Waiting list

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.

Before you ring

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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 £6.00 a session 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.
  • Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
