Funded childcare
Partou Habergham Day Nursery & Pre-School is proud to offer funded childcare places
Funded childcare is a government incentive fulfilled by Local Authorities which aims to provide financial support for eligible families accessing childcare at an OFSTED registered setting. Partou Habergham Day Nursery & Pre-School work with Lancashire Local Authority to apply childcare funding for eligible families.
Funding typically covers 15 or 30 hours per week for the 38 term weeks of the year across a maximum of 10 hours a day which will be applied in different ways depending how many weeks of the year your child is in childcare:
- Children who are in year-round childcare will receive “stretched” funding. This means that their 15/30 hours over 38 weeks will be stretched over 51 weeks of the year so children accessing year round childcare at Partou Habergham will receive 11.17/22.35 hours of funded childcare per week.
- Children who have term-time only childcare places will receive 15/30 hours funding per week over 38 weeks of the year. Term-time only places are limited and are subject to availability.
Government funding for childcare only applies to the care fee (as described above). Meals & snacks and consumables fees are fully chargeable for all sessions including funded.
Many families are eligible for government funded childcare, see our childcare funding guide for more information.

Massive support we received from the nursery and the staff at Christmas and we're very grateful for their support. I am so happy and can't wait for my little one to attend. Because I know my son will be well cared for and he will have the most amazing time with his new friends in the nursery.

Little People is such an amazing little nursery. A real home from home. My daughter first attended little people as a baby and progressed right through to preschool until the age of 4. Due to relocating, we left shortly after her 4th birthday, but we were sad to leave such a special place full of bea...

Overall, I am happy with the nursery but what I will say is my child is only 4 and doesn't understand certain things if he's being naughty etc. some staff do lack patience any when looking after kids of this age you need patience.
