Funding

Early Years Funding is a government scheme administered by local authorities to offer funded early learning and childcare places to 2-year-olds, entitlement for working parents, and universal childcare for 3-4-year-olds. 

You must complete the Parent/Carer Declaration form and provide an original copy of your child's identity and date of birth (e.g. passport or birth certificate) and agree when you will take up your funded hours. The funded hours cannot be claimed without this form.
