30 hours funded childcare

It works out as roughly 2 days of private nursery all year round then you pay for a little bit on top of those two days for other things then full price for any additional days.

If you stretch through the year it’s 22 hours per week. It’s not a set amount of money and every nursery charge different fees, some wildly different. Some have consumable charges/ early fees/ late fees etc and some limit the number or hours a day or the sessions you can use funded hours in so you’d really need to enquire with individual nurseries.

I’d also apply asap.. I had to apply before 20 weeks pregnant to get a place for my son when he turned 1.

For 3 days a week we are paying £280 after funded hours and tax free childcare. Our nursery doesn’t charge consumables or extra fees x
