Funded childcare
Partou Brimstage Village 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 Brimstage Village Day Nursery & Pre-School work with Wirral 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 52 weeks of the year so children accessing year-round childcare at Partou Brimstage Village will receive 10.96/21.92 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.

Kate and the new management team have done a brilliant job, well done to them and all the staff on the recent ofsted result. Our children are happy going in each morning and that's due to the great relationships they've formed with the staff.

My little boy has been going to Brimstage for just over a year now and he loves it! He used to be so nervous at first as he only goes one day a week but he has bonded with the staff so well that he runs in now and always has a big smile when we pick him up. I love the app and getting to see photos of...

My little girl started in April 24 and absolutely loves attending the nursery. As soon as we pull up in the car she gets so excited shouting 'Iyaa' and looking for the staffing team! Nothing is too much to ask and I feel so much better knowing she is happy and thriving in a nurturing environment.

Brimstage Day Nursery is brilliant and our 2-year-old son absolutely loves it. Every night as we walk to the car, he announces that he's had a nice day.

Brimstage is a great nursery. Our son has flourished since attending. He loves going in the mornings and walks through the door with a smile and excitement. He never seems to want to come home, which is great, because it shows he's really happy. He's such a chatterbox and his personality has started ...

Our twins have been attending Brimstage since July 2022 and what I loved about Brimstage as opposed to other care providers, was that the girls would have consistent care from a handful of staff, who we have grown to really know and trust. I was incredibly apprehensive about the girls going to nurser...
