What Funding Entitlements are available to parents and when could children become eligible?

Question:
What Funding Entitlements are available to parents and when could children become eligible?
Answer:

From April 2024 children from 2 to 4 years old could be eligible for funded hours. From September 2024 this will be extended to eligible children aged from 9 months. Criteria applies. 

Information on current entitlements and what is coming soon can be found on our funding page for parents. This includes information on criteria and when children can access funding and how parents apply. 

Eligible children could access funded hours up until and including the term a child turns 5 years old if attending a childminder, a private, independent, voluntary or governor run nursery or preschool. But children attending a primary school reception class from the age of 4 years old are not eligible for funding as reception class is a full time school placement.
