Who manages funded childcare in North Yorkshire?
North Yorkshire Council manages early-years funded childcare across its local authority area, including the universal and working-family entitlements.

Yes. Children are entitled to 15 funded hours a week for up to 38 weeks a year from the term after their third birthday.

Yes. Some 2-year-olds whose families receive qualifying government support can access 15 funded hours a week from the term after their second birthday.
What SEND support is available in early years?
North Yorkshire’s SEND Local Offer covers children and young people aged 0–25 and includes dedicated early-years information and support for children with special educational needs or disabilities.
How is Ofsted information shown for North Yorkshire nurseries?
