Funding


As a registered childcare provider, we offer funded places at our nursery school. 

From September 2025, eligible working parents of children from 9 months to school age are entitled to 30 hours of funded childcare per week.

Government funded hours are provided term-time only (38 weeks per year). Our nursery is open for 51 weeks per year. Therefore, we stretch the funded hours to provide the following:  

15 hour offer = 11.17 funded hours per week
30 hour offer = 22.35 funded hours per week

To apply for the government funded hours, please visit Best Start In Life to subscribe for updates.

If you are eligible, you will be sent an 11 digit code – please email this code to:

info@ashleighnurseryschool.co.uk

We will also need your date of birth and your National Insurance number in order to apply for the funding.

For further local information, please visit Lancashire County Council.
