Early Years Funding

For more information on Early Years Funding please visit the Devon County Council Website here:

https://new.devon.gov.uk/educationandfamilies/early-years-and-childcare/childcare/free-childcare-3-4-year-olds

Early Years funding is available to all children from the term that starts after their 3rd birthday.  Children are currently entitled to 15 hours per week of funded childcare which can be split between care providers (other nurseries or child minders), but the total number of funded hours declared must not exceed 15 hours per week.

 

The dates for eligibility are:

 

Children who are 3 years old

 

Between 1st September to 31st December   -   Funding starts in the Spring Term

Between 1st January to 31st March   -   Funding starts in the Summer Term

Between 1st April to 31st August   -   Funding starts in the Autumn Term

 

Childcare Entitlements for Working Parents

Your 3 or 4-year-old child may be eligible for up to 30 funded hours of early years childcare per week (for 38 weeks), or 1140 hours per year and from April 2024 your 2 year old children may be eligible for 15 hours per week (for 38 weeks), or 570 hours per year. Both apply the term after the child's birthday. 

​

Eligibility for working entitlement childcare will be checked by the government.  Follow the link in the box below to check your eligibility and you can apply for working entitlement childcare through their Childcare Service website.

​

If you are eligible, you will receive an 11 digit code to take directly to your participating childcare provider with your national insurance number. Your childcare provider will check the code and confirm your eligibility. You will need to reconfirm your entitlement every 3 months and we recommend you apply well within the deadlines.

  • Income Support
