Funded childcare
Partou Field View 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 Field View Day Nursery & Pre-School work with Derbyshire 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 Field View 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.

We love this nursery and so does our little boy. The staff really do go above and beyond and he has settled really well, always goes in with a big smile on his face. I'm so pleased we chose this nursery and I'm always recommending to other parents.

My son is 2 years old and he joined Field View in February 2024. They offered settling-in sessions where I could stay with him and help him get settled. We gradually started leaving him and if he wasn't settling, they would call me to come back. The settling-in process was difficult, as it is for mos...

My daughter started when she’d just turned 3 and having never been to any form of childcare before she was not keen on being left. However, all the staff have been amazing at settling her in and made us both feel comfortable during this process which didn’t take as long as we had expected. Now sh...

We absolutely love Tiddlers Day Nursery! Our little boy attended Tiddlers and absolutely loved it. He grew up with the staff and as a really shy boy, it meant a lot that he was so confident with them. His key worker was an absolute star. We loved the environment so much we wanted our youngest to att...

My child has been at Tiddlers from age one. It's a wonderful nursery with great staff. My daughter loves it. She used to be very shy and didn't mix well with others. She is like a different child now and looks forward to preschool every week.

My son has attended Tiddlers Day Nursery since he was 12 months old and is now almost 4.

I cannot sing the praises of the caregivers more, they are amazing and we love the setting. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about management and I feel compelled to share my experience to warn other parents, as I do not believe mine was an isolated incident.
