Helpful answers
Nursery questions in Walthamstow
Can working parents get 30 funded hours in Walthamstow?
Yes. Eligible working parents can receive 30 funded hours a week from the term after their child reaches 9 months until school age.
This provides up to 1,140 funded hours a year, normally over 38 weeks.
Eligibility must be reconfirmed every 3 months.
Can Walthamstow nurseries stretch 30 funded hours across the year?
Yes, if the nursery offers stretched funding.
Waltham Forest gives the example of:
30 hours a week over 38 weeks
or approximately
22 hours a week over 52 weeks
Both use the same annual funded entitlement.
Can I split funded childcare between 2 Walthamstow providers?
Yes.
Waltham Forest allows funded childcare at a maximum of 2 providers in one day.
You cannot claim more than 10 funded hours in one day, and funded sessions must be between 6 am and 8 pm.
Can a Walthamstow nursery charge me a deposit for a funded place?
Yes, but if you are using only funded childcare hours, Waltham Forest states that the deposit should be returned within your child's first term.
If you are also buying additional childcare hours, different deposit arrangements can apply.
Do I have to pay for meals with funded childcare?
No. Nurseries can charge for meals, nappies, trips and other extras, but these charges cannot be a condition of receiving funded childcare.
For example, if meals are charged, you must have an alternative such as providing a packed lunch.
Your invoice should clearly separate funded hours, paid hours and optional extras.
What SEND funding is available for Walthamstow nursery children?
Waltham Forest's SEN Inclusion Fund supports eligible children from under 2 through to age 4 who receive funded early education and have learning, developmental or SEND needs.
The funding is paid to the early years provider to support the individual child.
For 2026 to 2027, eligible 3 and 4 year olds receiving Disability Living Allowance can also receive a £975 Disability Access Fund payment for their setting.
Where can Walthamstow parents get early years support?
Walthamstow Best Start Family Hub is at:
313 Billet Road
Walthamstow
E17 5PX
It is open Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm.
Current services include child health clinics, under 2 play and learning sessions and speech and language drop ins.
What should I confirm before accepting a Walthamstow nursery place?
Confirm the exact start date, available weekdays, funded session pattern, deposit terms, optional charges and final monthly cost.
If your child needs additional support, discuss SEN Inclusion Funding with the nursery SENCO before the start date.
