Funding your childcare

Government Funding

The Government funds Local Authorities to offer subsidised early education places in settings inspected by Ofsted. We fully participate in offering your child 15 or 30-hours funded childcare per week. This will commence the term after your child becomes eligible for funding. Local Authority conditions apply. Extended funding for eligible parents will be rolled out in phases in line with government criteria:

From April 2024, working parents of children aged 2 will be able to access 15 hours of free childcare.

From September 2024, working parents of children aged 9 months and above will be able to access 15 hours of free childcare.

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

Funded Early Education entitlement commences the term after they become eligible for funding and are entitled to 570 hours of childcare which is 15 hours per week for 52 weeks a year. In addition, 3 and 4-year-olds of eligible, working parents may also be able to access a further 570 hours of funded childcare; this means 3 and 4-year-olds could receive a total of 30 hours of funded childcare per week over for 38 weeks a year, providing they meet the government eligibility.

Little Inventors Montessori Nurseries stretches this funding entitlement over the year and adds the cost of providing many additional services. This includes nutritionally balanced meals designed by a qualified nutritionist, extra-curricular clubs, digital access to your child's online learning journals with real-time updates, a home learning platform, qualified teachers leading our pre-school, regular nursery events for children and parents, parent educational workshops with an extensive database of recordings, individualised support for school applications and many other additional services.

To qualify for the 9 months plus 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. Families, where one parent is not in paid employment (or neither parent works), will usually not be eligible for the additional 15 hours. There are exceptions for parents who are on parental, maternity, paternity, adoption or sick leave. Parents who are studying or in training will not be eligible unless this is combined with paid work which meets the minimum average earnings threshold.

Tax-Free Childcare

Little Inventors Montessori Nurseries are registered and 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. It is the responsibility of the parent to ensure the Tax-Free Childcare payments are set up in line with the terms of the Little Inventors Montessori Contract.

Tax-Free Childcare can be used alongside the 15 and 30-hour 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.

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.
