30 hours government funded children.

At Leyland St James' Nursery, we offer two option plans specifically for our families who wish to use 30 hrs. of Government funding. You also have the option to add additional sessions onto your plan that will be charged at our nursery day rate.

Plan 1 is perfect for our families who just want to do sessional, term time only hours that will continue to fit around school hour drop off and pick up times. Please note, this plan will require for you to use your full 30 hrs funding over five days and does not allow for you to add any wrap around sessions on. If you do not wish to attend for 5 days, you do always have the option to stick at the 15 hrs. of funding.

Plan 2 - This plan is specifically designed for our families who require a longer day and therefore require full day care. You have the option to choose any 3 full day care sessions, any other additional sessions can then be added to your plan and paid for at the daily rate.

How can parents apply for the funded sessions?

Parents can apply for funded childcare sessions through the UK government’s official website. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Check Eligibility:
   • Visit the GOV.UK eligibility checker to ensure you meet the criteria for 15-hour or 30-hour funded sessions.
