Funded childcare
Partou Hawkesbury Road 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 Hawkesbury Road Day Nursery & Pre-School work with Bristol 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 Hawkesbury Road 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.

My daughter, a two-year-old, absolutely loves going to the nursery to see all of her friends and teachers. I don't have any complaints; they tell me what she's eaten, gotten up to throughout the day and whether or not she's had a good or bad day. As a mother going to collect your child at the end of ...

Both of my children attend/have attended One The Nursery from baby age. Both children have flourished and developed skills during their time there, and the staff provide the highest level of care. Both my children enjoy going, which makes dropping off so much easier.
