Government Childcare Funding: Eligibility & Limitations

• Eligibility: Available for children aged 3 to 4 years.
• Duration: 38 weeks per year, aligning with the term time.
• Additional Costs: Funding covers only the educational service. Costs like meals, nappies, and trips may be extra.
• Provider Policies: Each childcare provider may apply the funding differently based on their policies.
