Helpful answers
Nursery questions in Stourbridge
What postcode covers nurseries in Stourbridge?
DY8 is the main postcode district for Stourbridge, covering the town centre and surrounding residential areas. The wider Stourbridge postal area also reaches neighbouring communities, so checking the full address can help when comparing settings.
Is Stourbridge part of Dudley?
Yes. Stourbridge is one of the main towns within the Dudley Metropolitan Borough, and Dudley Council is responsible for administering local early years funding and SEND support.
How much funded childcare can Stourbridge families 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, normally across 38 weeks of the year.
When does the 15 hour entitlement start after my child turns 3?
The universal entitlement begins from the next funding term after the third birthday. Children born from January to March start from April, April to August from September, and September to December from January.
Can funded hours be shared between a nursery and childminder?
Yes. Funded childcare can be used with eligible nurseries, pre schools and registered childminders, and families can divide their hours between providers when that arrangement suits them.
Can Stourbridge funded childcare be stretched across more weeks?
Potentially. Instead of taking the full weekly entitlement during 38 weeks, some providers allow families to use fewer funded hours each week across more of the year.
Is there extra early years funding for some children?
Yes. A childcare setting may receive additional funding through schemes such as Early Years Pupil Premium, while children with additional needs may qualify for support through specialist inclusion funding or Disability Access Funding. These payments support the child within their early years setting rather than providing extra childcare hours.
What SEND support is available for young children in Stourbridge?
Dudley’s SEND provision covers children and young people from 0 to 25, including specific early years support. Early years providers can also access Early Years Specialist Inclusion Funding where a child needs additional support beyond the setting’s usual provision.
