[New] Funded childcare places near you at Kids Planet

Paying for childcare isn’t always easy, particularly in the current climate. Yet it’s vital that children experience and benefit from the learning and development opportunities available, especially in those all-important early years.

With this in mind, award-winning nursery group Kids Planet is continuing to take steps to help families secure free childcare provision for early years children, across all its 142 UK-wide sites.

Part of a government initiative, the funded offering aims to help make childcare more readily available and accessible to all families, including those in need - something which Kids Planet itself cares deeply about.

The nursery group has multiple 15 and 30-hours funded childcare places for children ages 2 to 4 years, each week during term time.

As standard, all parents of children ages 3 and 4 years are entitled to 15 hours funded childcare per week, which Kids Planet encourages parents to take advantage of.

Kids Planet also offers 15 hours of funded childcare to some 2-yearolds if parents are eligible. Examples include those receiving certain benefits, if a child has special education needs or is living with a disability, if a child is being looked after by a local authority or if a child has a kinship/guardianship order.

If you are a working parent with a child ages 3 or 4, you may be eligible to get 30 hours funded childcare depending on your work requirements, salary, age of your children and your location*.

*Some funded places are available to eligible families only. Visit Childcare Choices HERE for the criteria.
