Nursery questions in Filton
Can working parents get 30 funded childcare hours in Filton?
Yes. From September 2025, eligible working parents can access up to 30 funded hours a week from the term after their child turns 9 months until school age. Filton's early years funding is administered by South Gloucestershire Council, not Gloucestershire County Council.
Do all 3 and 4-year-olds in Filton receive funded nursery hours?

Can Filton nurseries charge me while I am using funded childcare?
The funded hours themselves must be available without a compulsory additional charge. Providers can charge separately for optional extras such as food, consumables, additional activities or childcare outside the funded hours, so check the complete fee breakdown when comparing Filton nursery costs.
