As we strongly believe that children benefit from continuity of care, we feel that attending more than one setting is to the determent of a child, therefore if a child attends more than one setting for the standard 15 hours, we will not offer any funded hours to that child.
To check eligibility for 30 hours, please visit childcare-support.tax.service.gov.uk. This site can also be used to sign for Tax Free Childcare.
