How to apply for your child’s free entitlement

All 3 and 4 year olds living in England are entitled to 570 hours of free early education and childcare a year. At Fox Cubs Nursery this is offered as 15 hours a week for 38 weeks per year. This is known as the Universal Entitlement. It can be claimed from the term after your child’s third birthday.

From September 2017 the government will be increasing the free hours from 15 to 30 for children of working families meeting the eligibility criteria. This means that eligible children will be able to receive up to 1140 hours of free childcare a year.

15 hours:

The School Office will claim this on your behalf and will only require you to complete a declaration of attendance form each term, this is to confirm that your child will attend for the hours the school is claiming.

30 hours:

You will need to apply online to confirm you are eligible for 30 hours. Click here to apply.

If eligible you will be given an eligibility code to give to the school.
