Government Funding

Fully Funded Places

We offer some fully funded places at zero cost to families. These places are subject to availability. Please contact our Admissions team to find out more. For fully funded spaces we do not require a minimum booking pattern.


Government funded childcare for Under Twos (9-month-olds) from Eligible Working Families

From September 2024 eligible children under two from working families will be able to claim 12 hours of childcare per week. You may have seen that 15 hours of funding will be available for this age group. This is based on term-time-only nurseries that run 47.5 weeks of the year. Raised In nurseries run all-year-round, which means we stretch the funding over the 51 weeks of the year entitling you to 12 hours of funding per week with us. It will be possible to claim from the term after the child turns nine months old (until they turn two). 

At Raised In we require a minimum booking pattern of 20 hours (four sessions) per week. For children claiming funding, the additional non-funded hours are charged on a sliding scale rate, which is different to our standard rate. The more hours you book, the lower the rate will be per hour (see the table below). To check your eligibility and apply visit Childcare Choices.


Government funded childcare for Two-year-olds from Eligible Working Families

From April 2024 eligible two-year-old children from working families will be able to claim 12 hours of childcare per week. You may have seen that for eligible working families 15 hours of funding is available for this age group. This is based on term-time-only nurseries that run 47.5 weeks of the year. Raised In nurseries run all-year-round, which means we stretch the funding over the 51 weeks of the year entitling you to 12 hours of funding per week with us. This can be claimed from the term after your child’s second birthday.

At Raised In we require a minimum booking pattern of 20 hours (four sessions) per week. For children claiming funding, the additional non-funded hours are charged on a sliding scale rate, which is different to our standard rate. The more hours you book, the lower the rate will be per hour (see the table below). To check your eligibility and apply visit Childcare Choices.


Universal Government funded childcare for 3-5 year olds

All three–five year olds are eligible for 15 hours per week of Universal funding. This is based on term-time-only nurseries that run 47.5 weeks of the year. Raised In nurseries run all-year-round, which means we stretch the funding over the 51 weeks of the year entitling you to 12 hours of funding per week with us. You will receive this term after your child’s third birthday. All families are automatically eligible for this funding.

At Raised In we require a minimum booking pattern of 20 hours (four sessions) per week. For children claiming funding, the additional non-funded hours are charged on a sliding scale rate, which is different to our standard rate. The more hours you book, the lower the rate will be per hour (see the table below).


Extended government funded childcare for 3-5 year olds

Parents/ carers of children aged three–five years old from working families can apply for an additional 15 hours per week during term time, making a total of 30 hours. With Raised In’s all year round service, this translates to 24 hours of funded childcare per week.

If you meet the extra hours criteria you will have to sign up online. You’ll get a code, which you can give to us to reserve a place. As long as everything is in order, you won’t need to do anything else – you’ll get the extra hours once the next term starts. 

When signing up for the extra hours, please read the information closely and follow the steps carefully to get your code.

If your childcare exceeds the total number of funded hours (24 per week), you will be you’’ need to pay for the additional hours. However, these additional non-funded hours are charged on a sliding scale rate, which is different to our standard rate. The more hours you book, the lower the rate will be per hour (see the table below). To check your eligibility and apply visit Childcare Choices.


Non-funded hours’ fees for children eligible for Government funding

Examples of how the sliding scale works

You receive 12 hours of government funding for your 9 months old and want a total of 20 hours in the nursery. Your weekly fee will be calculated as follows:

20 hours total – 12 hours government funded = 8 hours to pay £12.20 per hour. Total weekly fee = £97.63

You receive 12 hours of government funding for your two-year-old and want a total of 40 hours in the nursery. Your weekly fee will be calculated as follows:

40 hours total – 12 hours government funded = 28 hours to pay £10.31  per hour. Total weekly fee = £288.60

You receive 12 hours of government funding for your three-year-old (Universal Hours) and want a total of 35 hours in the nursery. Your weekly fee will be calculated as follows:

35 hours total – 12 hours government funded = 23 hours to pay £9.86 per hour. Total weekly fee = £226.72


You receive 24 hours of government funding for your three-year-old (Extended Hours) and want a total of 25 hours in the nursery. Your weekly fee will be calculated as follows:

25 hours total – 24 hours government funded = 1 hour to pay @ £88.95

Total weekly fee = £88.95
