Funded childcare and statutory ratios
England-wide rules — not confirmation that this nursery offers a place or a particular session pattern.
Government-funded hours
15 hours for every 3- and 4-year-old
570 hours a year, normally 15 hours a week over 38 weeks, from the term after the third birthday.
Up to 30 hours for eligible working families
1,140 hours a year from the term after a child turns 9 months until school age. Eligibility must be checked and reconfirmed.
15 hours for some 2-year-olds
A separate entitlement applies to eligible children receiving additional support, including certain benefits or disability support.
A provider may stretch hours over more weeks and may charge separately for meals, nappies, extra hours or activities. Ask for a written schedule showing funded hours and optional extras.
EYFS minimum adult-to-child ratios
These are statutory minimums, not the nursery's actual staffing level. Ask for the normal ratio in your child's room, how breaks are covered and which qualifications are counted.
