Yes. Haughton Green is within the wider Denton area and forms part of Denton South. It shares the M34 postcode and has long been closely connected with Denton.

All 3 and 4 year olds can receive 15 funded hours a week for 38 weeks. Eligible working families can receive up to 30 funded hours from 9 months old until school age, giving up to 1,140 funded hours across a standard year.

Not necessarily. Tameside confirms that providers delivering funded childcare for 3 and 4 year olds do not automatically have to offer funded places for younger children. Availability for babies and 2 year olds can therefore differ between settings.

A school nursery usually follows school style sessions and may have a September intake, while a day nursery commonly offers longer opening hours and year round childcare. The better option depends on your child's age, funded hours and the coverage you need around work.

It can, depending on the provider's opening and session times. Parents commuting from Denton may want to compare early drop offs, collection times, full day sessions and the cost of hours outside the funded entitlement.

Possibly. Funded hours cover eligible childcare, but there may be separate costs for meals, nappies, additional sessions or optional activities. These costs should be clear before you agree to a place.

Parents using the working parent entitlement must reconfirm their eligibility regularly, normally every 3 months. Missing the reconfirmation deadline can affect continued access to the additional funded hours.
