Funding and financial support

​

At Busy Bees, we offer unlimited funded sessions for 2, 3 and 4 year olds.  

​

15 hours EEF

All children are entitled to 15 hours of EEF funded childcare as soon as they turn 3 until they go to School. Some 2 year olds will receive 15 hours EEF funded childcare per week dependent on household income - this will start the term after they turn 2 if eligible.

​

​

Working Families Funding from 9 months

 

Children who are entitled to the working families government funded childcare will have access to 30 hours of EEF per week. This will begin the term after the child turns 9 months old which means that if eligible, they can join us as soon as they turn 1 and use their EEF funding straight away, rather than waiting for the term after their birthday.

​

There is also other childcare support available from the government such as Tax Free Childcare, Universal Credit, Child Tax Credit and Student support.

 

To see if you are eligible for funded sessions or childcare support go to the Childcare Choices website.
