Here at Sunnydale Nursery, we offer the Government funded hours. We offer this in a range of ways to meet the individual needs of your family.  

The 15-hour Government funding for families in receipt of benefits can be accessed during term time only, during either morning or afternoon sessions (dependent on availability). 

This can be incorporated into attending more days by the following and is also how we offer the Government funding for working families:

We do offer Term time and all year-round spaces for babies, 2, 3 and 4-year-olds- these are dependent on availability. Please speak to the Managing Director or admin regarding our availability. Government Funding can be taken over any of our sessions and covers a maximum of 15/30 hours per week for 38 weeks per year or a maximum of 570/1140 hours per financial year. The funding can be stretched across the whole year, and this equates to 11.18 hours over 51 weeks if eligible for 15 hours funding or 22.35 hours per week if eligible for 30 hours. There are optional charges when accessing funded hours- these can be found on our fees section. 

There are optional consumables charge when accessing funded hours:  

£15.98 when accessing 15 hours of Government funding.  

£31.86 when accessing 30 hours of Government funding.  

Notice Periods 

We require four weeks’ written notice to terminate your child’s place at Sunnydale Nursery and to make any changes to attendance patterns. This is compulsory to allow us to ensure any deposit refund can be applied to your final invoice (see refund policy). If your child accesses Government funded hours (2, 3 or 4 years of age) we require half a term’s notice to terminate their funded hours.
