Funded childcare
Partou Radcliffe 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 Radcliffe Road 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 Radcliffe 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.

I would recommend this nursery to anyone. The children are always happy to attend. They have strived well and have excellent manners. They always look forward to attending their nursery and talk about the staff as friends. The dinners are well-liked and they can relay what they have eaten.

The nursery is amazing. Since my daughter started at about 5 months old, they have been so helpful and caring. All the staff are equally as brilliant but especially four members of staff in particular. My daughters loved every second.
