Helpful answers
Nursery questions in Erith
Can working parents get 30 funded childcare hours in Erith?
Yes. From September 2025, eligible working families in Erith can receive up to 30 funded hours a week from the term after their child turns 9 months until school age. Bexley confirms that the expanded entitlement applies to eligible children aged 9 months and over.
Can funded childcare in Erith be split between two settings?
Yes. Bexley allows funded childcare to be used at up to two childcare sites, with a maximum of 10 funded hours in one day. This can help Erith parents combine a nursery with another eligible setting where the providers can accommodate the arrangement.
Do all 3 and 4 year olds in Erith receive funded nursery hours?
Yes. Children in Bexley are entitled to 570 funded hours a year, normally taken as 15 hours a week for 38 weeks, from the relevant term after their third birthday. Eligible working families can qualify for the expanded 30-hour entitlement.
Is there separate funded childcare for eligible 2-year-olds in Erith?
Yes. Bexley provides 15 funded hours for eligible 2-year-olds through its Early Learning for 2 Year Olds offer. Eligibility is separate from the universal entitlement that begins after a child's third birthday.
What SEND support is available in Erith nurseries?
Bexley reports that around 12% of children in its early-years settings have been identified with SEND, with speech, language and communication difficulties the most common area of need. The council's Early Years Team supports settings with identifying needs, accessing additional funding and arranging appropriate early intervention.
Does Bexley provide extra speech and language support in early-years settings?
Yes. Bexley has introduced additional early speech and language intervention through programmes including Early Talk Boost and WellComm. The council reports that early-years screening has identified approximately 50% of children as likely to need some additional communication support at some stage of their early learning.
Is there a government-backed Family Hub in Erith?
Yes. West Street Erith Family Hub is Bexley's first dedicated Family Hub and supports families from pregnancy through childhood. Early-years provision includes child-development support, parenting activities and services for families with children under 5.
Do Erith nurseries all offer the same funded session times?
No. Bexley states that many nursery classes operate morning or afternoon sessions of up to three hours, while some settings offer full days or different arrangements. Funded-hours availability therefore depends on the individual Erith nursery's session structure, which parents can compare through ToddleKids.
