Helpful answers
Nursery questions in Droylsden
What postcode covers nurseries in Droylsden?
M43 is the main postcode district for Droylsden, covering the town centre, Fairfield and surrounding residential areas.
Is Droylsden part of Manchester or Tameside?
Droylsden borders Manchester but is within the Metropolitan Borough of Tameside. Tameside Council therefore administers funded childcare and local early years support for families in Droylsden.
How much funded childcare can Droylsden families receive?
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 a week from 9 months old until school age.
Do all Droylsden nurseries offer funded places for babies and 2 year olds?
No. A provider that offers funded places for 3 and 4 year olds does not automatically have to offer funded places for younger children. Availability for children under 3 can therefore vary between Droylsden settings.
Can funded hours cover lunch at nursery?
Yes. A lunch period can form part of your child's funded hours. A nursery may charge for the meal itself, but parents should be offered an alternative such as providing a packed lunch.
Can my child use fewer than 30 funded hours?
Yes. You do not have to use the full entitlement. Families can agree a smaller weekly pattern where it suits their childcare needs and the sessions available at the nursery.
What happens if I want to change nursery during the term?
Funded hours are normally agreed with the provider for the term through a parental agreement. If you need to move your child, speak to the current setting about when the funded hours can transfer to another provider.
Will I pay extra if my child attends longer than their funded hours?
Usually, yes. The funded entitlement covers the agreed funded hours only. Additional childcare time, meals, consumables and optional activities may be charged separately and should be clearly shown on the nursery bill.
What SEND support can a Droylsden nursery provide?
Children with additional needs can receive SEN support within their early years setting, using a graduated approach based on the child's individual needs. Parents can also raise concerns directly with the nursery if they think their child may need additional support.
