2 Year Old Funding

Changes to Funded Childcare from April 2024

On 15th March 2023, the Government announced plans to increase access to funded childcare hours to include younger children. The phased introduction of this plan begins in April 2024 through to September 2025:

  • From April 2024, all eligible children aged two are to receive 15 hours of funded childcare.
  • By September 2025, all eligible children aged from 2 years to school age to receive 30 hours of funded childcare.

The nursery are pleased to accept children who have been offered 2 year old funding from Oxfordshire County Council. Research has shown that the experiences a child has in the first few years of life play a crucial part in determining future outcomes. Please see our table below on how the nursery have supported children in receipt of 2-year-old funding.
