Helpful answers

Nursery questions in Rugby

Which postcodes cover nurseries in Rugby?

Rugby itself is mainly covered by CV21 and CV22, while CV23 includes parts of the wider Rugby area and surrounding communities. Checking the full address is useful when comparing how close a setting is to home, work or your usual commute.

Are Bilton, Hillmorton and Brownsover part of Rugby?

Yes. Bilton, Hillmorton and Brownsover are established parts of the Rugby urban area, alongside neighbourhoods such as New Bilton, Cawston and Paddox.

How much funded childcare can Rugby families receive?

All 3 and 4 year olds can receive 15 funded hours a week, usually for 38 weeks. Eligible working families can receive up to 30 funded hours a week from the term after their child turns 9 months old until school age.

When can my child start using the working parent entitlement?

Funding normally begins from 1 January, 1 April or 1 September after your child reaches the qualifying age and you have a valid eligibility code. The code must be obtained before the deadline for that funding period.

Does a funded childcare code guarantee the nursery days I want?

No. The entitlement guarantees access to funded childcare, but not a place with a particular Rugby nursery or a specific timetable. Parents needing fixed full days or particular weekdays may need to check availability with several settings.

Can I spread funded hours across more of the year?

Yes, if your provider offers this arrangement. The standard 15 hour entitlement is usually taken over 38 weeks, but Warwickshire allows families to use fewer hours per week across more weeks instead.

What extra nursery charges should I compare?

Funded hours themselves must be provided without a compulsory top up. Providers can charge separately for things such as meals, nappies, sun cream, additional hours, trips or other optional services, and these charges should be clearly explained.

Do I need to renew my 30 hours childcare code?

Yes. Working parents must normally reconfirm their eligibility every 3 months through their childcare account, even after their child has started using funded hours.

What additional help is available if my child has SEND?

Warwickshire early years settings must make arrangements to support children with additional needs, normally with a SENCO or another designated member of staff coordinating support. Eligible children receiving Disability Living Allowance and funded early education can also attract £975 a year in Disability Access Fund for their provider.
