Funded childcare
Partou Leo’s 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 Leo’s Day Nursery & Pre-School work with Nottinghamshire 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 Leo’s 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.

I cannot praise them enough, without a doubt the nursery has got her ready for School, the only problem is she does want to leave. She has come on leaps and bounds while being at the nursery and she has made some great friends as well.

Leo’s is a great nursery. They’re really accommodating as our little one had to go dairy free at the request of our doctor and it wasn’t an issue. The staff are brilliant and you can tell they love working at the nursery.

Leo's has been excellent for our son's. Confidence, progress and overall development. We love the staff, the setting and the food he's been given. We could not have had a better nursery experience. We really felt the staff cared, which meant a lot to us. Excellent all-round.
