Government Funding

The Government funds Local Authorities to offer childcare for working parents in settings inspected by Ofsted. We fully participate in this scheme, offering eligible parents 15 or 30 hours’ basic childcare per week. The government funding is a contribution towards providing basic childcare and does not include extra services. Our extra provision incudes;

  • a personalised curriculum for each child that includes phonics, reading, writing and mathematics
  • specialist teaching in small groups or in one to one sessions
  • daily communication via the EYLOg
  • a half termly newsletter
  • visiting professionals such as Zoolab
  • sport, dance, yoga, music and cooking lessons
  • trips and visits
  • professional advice for parents
  • consumables

There is a charge for this extra provision as it is over and above the basic provision. Our fees sheet outlines the cost of the Enhanced Provision.

Parents do not have to opt for the enhanced provision, we will ask on the application form whether the enhanced or basic provision is required, so that this is transparent before you sign up and you will have the opportunity to opt out.

Funding for eligible parents will be rolled out in phases in line with government criteria:

From April 2024, working parents of children aged 2 have been able to access 15 hours basic childcare.

From September 2024, working parents of children aged 9 months and above have been able to access 15 hours basic childcare.

From September 2025, working parents of children aged 9 months and above will be entitled to 30 hours basic childcare per week.

Funded Early Education entitlement commences the term after they become eligible.

To qualify for the funding, each parent (or the sole parent in a lone parent family) will need to earn, on average, at least the equivalent of 16 hours on the national minimum wage per week and no more than £100,000 per year. Self- employed parents and parents on zero-hours contracts will be eligible if they meet the average earnings criteria. To find out more please visit the Childcare Choices website. https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/

Please note: Whilst we participate in 15 and 30 hours subsidised funded entitlement to Early Years Education this does not guarantee the availability of a place.

Tax-Free Childcare

Roxeth Mead Nursery is registered to accept payments from Tax-Free Childcare accounts. Tax-Free Childcare is a more accessible alternative to the Employer Childcare Voucher scheme offering tax efficient savings when paying for your nursery fees. Tax-Free Childcare will be open to all qualifying parents, unlike childcare vouchers which can only be bought by people whose employer offers the scheme. It is a scheme by which the government will top up a designated childcare bank account by 20p for every 80p deposited, up to a maximum of £2,000 per child per year.

Tax-Free Childcare can be used alongside the 15 and 30 hours funded entitlement to Early Years Education and will support families with their childcare costs.

To find out if you are eligible or for more detailed information and how to register, please visit the Government Childcare Service website https://www.gov.uk/get-tax-free-childcare

Childcare Vouchers

We accept Childcare Vouchers from employers who offer this benefit to their eligible employees as an e-voucher. Vouchers are non-taxable and exempt from NI contributions for employees, whilst offering NI savings for employers. Both parents are eligible to claim as long as they are both in employment.
