Funding and financial support
​
At Busy Bees, we offer unlimited funded sessions for 2, 3 and 4 year olds.
​
3 & 4 year olds
All children are entitled to 15 hours of EEF funded childcare when they turn 3. This remains in place until they start school. Some 3 year old children are entitled to 30 hours of EEF funded childcare from the term after they turn 3 - entitlement is dependant upon working circumstances.
2 year olds
Some 2 year old children are entitled to 15 hours of EEF funded childcare once they turn 2 - entitlement is dependent upon receipt of certain income support schemes.
Since April 2024 some 2 year old children are entitled to 15 hours of EEF funded childcare the term after they turn 2 - entitlement is dependant upon working circumstances.
From September 2024 children who are entitled to the working families 15 hours of EEF funded hours for 9 month olds can join us as soon as they turn 2, 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.
