(Ages 3-4) 15 HOURS FUNDED CHILDCARE
All 3 and 4-year-old's are entitled to 15 hours per week of funded early education and childcare for 38 weeks per year. This amounts to a total of 570 hours per year. As we are open all year round, we stretch the funding across the year i.e. approximately 11 hours per week. A child becomes eligible from the term following their third birthday. Parents of eligible children are not required to take any action as My Little Wonders will apply for this funding on their behalf.

TAX FREE CHILDCARE
You can get up to £500 every 3 months (up to £2,000 a year) for each of your children to help with the costs of childcare. This goes up to £1,000 every 3 months if a child is disabled (up to £4,000 a year), for eligibility please visit https://www.gov.uk/get-tax-free-childcare
If you’ve already registered, you can sign in to your childcare account.
If you get Tax-Free Childcare, you’ll set up an online childcare account for your child. For every £8 you pay into this account, the government will pay in £2 to use to pay your provider.
You can get Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as 15 or 30 hours free childcare if you’re eligible for both.
