Helpful answers
Nursery questions in Worcestershire
Which postcode areas cover nurseries in Worcestershire?
Worcestershire uses several postcode areas. WR covers Worcester, Malvern, Droitwich, Evesham and Pershore, while parts of the county use DY, B and other neighbouring postcode areas, including Kidderminster, Redditch and Bromsgrove.
Which council manages funded childcare in Worcestershire?
Worcestershire County Council currently administers early education and childcare funding across the county, including Worcester, Redditch, Bromsgrove, Malvern Hills, Wychavon and Wyre Forest.
How much funded childcare can Worcestershire families receive?
All 3 and 4 year olds can receive 15 funded hours a week. Eligible working families with children aged 9 months to 4 years old can receive up to 30 funded hours a week for 38 weeks of the year.
When does funded childcare start after my child reaches the qualifying age?
Funding begins from the next eligible term. Children reaching the qualifying age from January to March can start in April, April to August in September, and September to December in January.
Can some 2 year olds get 15 funded hours?
Yes. Some 2 year olds can receive 15 funded hours where their family receives qualifying additional support or the child meets specific criteria, including having an Education, Health and Care Plan or receiving Disability Living Allowance.
Can funded childcare be split between different settings?
Yes. Families can use their entitlement across more than one eligible setting where the arrangements meet the funding rules. This can be useful when combining a nursery with another form of registered early years childcare.
What extra costs should parents check before choosing a nursery?
Funded hours cover the eligible early education place, but providers may charge separately for meals, nappies, additional childcare or optional activities. These costs should be clear before a child starts.
What if my child needs extra support at nursery?
Children with SEND can attend mainstream early years settings, with additional support based on their individual needs. Worcestershire also provides Inclusion Supplement Funding to help eligible settings meet extra costs associated with supporting children with SEND.
Can a child with SEND use funded hours at both a specialist and mainstream setting?
Yes. Where a child attends specialist early years provision, funded hours are allocated there first. If the child does not use their full entitlement at the specialist setting, the remaining hours can be used at another eligible setting.
