Funded childcare
Partou Alexandra Royal 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 Alexandra Day Nursery & Pre-School work with Worcestershire 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 Alexandra 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.

Absolutely fantastic nursery and pre-school. My daughter has been going since she was 9 months old and absolutely loves her time there. All of the staff are wonderful and clearly care for all of the children who attend.. I will be very sad when my daughter leaves to attend school in September 2025.

I'm happy with the nursery, I brought my son here from his previous setting and he's so much better! He doesn't cry when going anymore, he likes to go to nursery and it's great for me to see! They tell me everything he's done that day and he's always happy! My twins will be going soon too!
