Tadley is in Hampshire, although it sits directly beside the Berkshire boundary. Hampshire County Council therefore administers funded early years childcare for settings based in Tadley.
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, equivalent to 1,140 hours over a standard funded year.
Yes. Funded childcare is not restricted to the council area where your child lives. If a Tadley family chooses an eligible setting in Berkshire, the local authority where that setting is based handles the funding.
Yes, where the provider offers a stretched arrangement. Instead of using the full entitlement over 38 weeks, families can use fewer funded hours each week across more weeks of the year.
If you stop meeting the working parent eligibility rules, a grace period can allow an existing funded place to continue temporarily while your circumstances change. A child generally cannot start a new working parent funded place for the first time once the code is already in its grace period.
Yes. Families can divide their funded entitlement between eligible providers, such as a nursery and a childminder. The providers need to agree how the hours are divided so the combined claim stays within the child's entitlement.
Funded childcare covers the eligible early education hours, but providers may offer separately charged meals, nappies, additional hours or optional activities. These extras should not prevent a child from accessing their funded entitlement.
Hampshire provides SEN Inclusion Funding for children who need additional support within an early years setting. Eligible children receiving Disability Living Allowance and funded early education may also qualify for Disability Access Fund, which helps the setting improve access and inclusion.
