Nurseries in Aldershot

Today the town extends from its established centre into newer communities such as Wellesley, while landmarks and neighbourhoods around the garrison continue to shape its identity. Aldershot mainly uses GU11 and GU12 postcodes and sits within Rushmoor, with funded early years childcare administered by Hampshire County Council.

Helpful answers

Nursery questions in Aldershot

Which postcodes cover nurseries in Aldershot?

Aldershot mainly uses GU11 and GU12, covering the town centre, military area and surrounding residential neighbourhoods.

Is Wellesley part of Aldershot?

Yes. Wellesley is a major newer residential area of Aldershot, developed on part of the former military estate north of the established town centre.

How much funded childcare can Aldershot families receive?

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

We are moving to Aldershot. Can existing funded childcare eligibility still be used?

Usually, yes. Working parent eligibility can continue when a family moves, provided the code remains valid. For the separate 15 hour entitlement for eligible 2 year olds, Hampshire can also recognise a reference issued by another local authority after it has been verified.

Can I split funded hours between two childcare providers?

Yes. Families can divide their funded entitlement between eligible providers, such as using some hours at a nursery and others with a childminder. The providers need to agree how the total funded hours are divided.

Can Aldershot funded childcare be stretched across the year?

Yes, where the provider offers it. Hampshire allows the annual entitlement to be spread across more than 38 weeks and up to 52 weeks, using fewer funded hours each week.

What extra nursery costs might I still have to pay?

Funded hours themselves must be available without mandatory charges. Providers can offer optional paid extras such as meals, nappies, sun cream, additional hours or activities, but reasonable alternatives must be available if parents choose not to pay for them.

What happens if I stop qualifying for the working parent hours?

Hampshire operates a grace period when a parent falls out of eligibility because their working circumstances change. This allows an existing funded place to continue temporarily rather than ending immediately.

What extra support can an Aldershot nursery receive for a child with SEND?

Hampshire provides SEN Inclusion Funding for children who need additional support in early years provision. Children receiving Disability Living Allowance and using funded childcare may also qualify for Disability Access Fund, which is paid to a nominated setting to support access and inclusion.
