Ensure your child received 30 Hours Free At Little Plums Nursery. We want to give you, the parents easy and quick access to all available free funding. We will offer you support and guidance to claim all available funded hours, so give us a call or pop in to discuss.

All parents and carers who have children aged three and four are currently entitled to 15 hours a week free childcare. For working parents, this is  doubled to 30 hours free childcare a week.

To be eligible for the increased free hours, you must:

  • earn at least £120 a week.
  • each parent must not earn £100,000 or more a year.

You could still be eligible if you or your partner is on maternity, paternity or adoption leave, are unable to work if they have a disability or caring responsibilities. Single parents can also apply.

Successful applicants will then receive a code which they bring into the office at Little Plums Nursery.

Unlike some other nurseries, we offer flexible options. We know how important getting back to work is for some and seeing their child make new friends at Little Plums. Parents really appreciate the truly flexible options we provide. We have lots of availability at present, places are going fast so call us to register and reserve a place for next term.

Not eligible? We will still provide all 3 & 4 years old with 15 hours of free childcare

If you don’t meet the criteria for extended free childcare, all three and four-year-olds are still entitled to 15 hours of free education  for 38 weeks of the year at Little Plums Day Nursery

Our team will support and help answer any questions that you have in relation to applying for free funded hours.
