Helpful answers
Nursery questions in Witney
What postcode covers nurseries in Witney?
OX28 is the main postcode district for Witney, covering the town centre and surrounding residential areas.
Is Cogges part of Witney?
Yes. Cogges forms part of Witney today, although it developed historically as a separate settlement and parish. It lies east of the River Windrush and is now integrated into the wider town.
How much funded childcare can families in Witney 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 a year.
Should I look early for a baby or 2 year old nursery place in Witney?
It is sensible to do so if you need particular days or long sessions. Oxfordshire's 2026 childcare review identified Witney and surrounding areas as a priority for additional places for children aged 9 to 23 months and 2 year olds, showing stronger demand for provision for younger children.
Can funded hours cover a full nursery day?
They can, depending on the sessions offered by the setting. Oxfordshire allows a funded childcare session to last up to 10 hours in one day, and funded sessions can include lunchtime rather than forcing parents to pay for an artificial break in the middle of the day.
Can a Witney nursery charge a top up fee for funded hours?
No. Providers cannot charge a top up or mandatory registration fee for access to funded hours. Optional charges can apply for meals, nappies, additional private hours or activities, but parents must be able to access the funded place without purchasing these extras.
How should nursery fees appear on my invoice?
Oxfordshire requires invoices issued from 1 January 2026 to separate funded hours from additional private hours, food, consumables and activity charges. This makes it easier to see exactly what the funded entitlement covers and what you are paying for separately.
Can I split funded childcare between two providers?
Yes. Families can divide funded hours between eligible settings, such as a nursery and childminder. Funded childcare can be used at no more than two sites in one day, while the total hours must stay within the child's entitlement.
What extra support is available if my child has SEND?
Oxfordshire provides Inclusion Funding and Early Years Additional Funding for eligible children who need extra support. Children receiving Disability Living Allowance and funded early education may also qualify for £975 a year in Disability Access Fund for their nominated provider during 2026 to 2027.
