WELCOME TO CHUCKLES PRIVATE DAY NURSERY.
Government Funding
The term after your child turns 2 they may be entitled to 15 hours funded education, funding depending on your personal circumstances. Please see the nursery management for more information or visit childcare choices.
All three and four year olds are entitled to 15 hours of funded nursery education for 38 weeks of the year. This applies until they start school. Funded nursery education can only be offered by Ofsted registered settings.
The funding entitlement is paid directly to us. We will automatically deduct the funding entitlement from your fees each month from the start of the term after your child turns 3.
You will be asked to sign a form before each term so we can process payments.
Must attend over at least 2 days to claim full entitlement.
If you meet the government criteria for the 30 funded hours, for children aged 3 and 4 years, please visit www.childcarechoices.co.uk
