Funded childcare

Partou Stockwood Lane 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 Stockwood Lane 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 52 weeks of the year so children accessing year round childcare at Partou Stockwood Lane 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.

My daughter has been going to this nursery from the age of 1 (she is now nearly 4), she absolutely loves it and has made some great friendships. Although she loves it, the nursery does struggle with communication, they have an app which is meant to be updated throughout the day that will give parents...

My daughter has been attending Stockwood Lane Day Nursery for over a year now and has loved her time here, taking very little time to settle which I credit to the caring and friendly staff.

Since extending the amount he attends, his communication and language skills have improved as well as his social development and empathy.

My daughter started in April 2024 just as she turned one. She's my first child, so I'd say I was a "normal" level of anxious (!) She settled in so much quicker than I was expecting, and from the start it has been the bubbly, positive energy of her key worker that has filled me and my daughter with co...

My daughter has been at the nursery for just over a year. From day one, I have been exceptionally impressed with her level of care.

The staff are lovely and talk about my daughter in a way that shows they know her and have been actively involved in her day and are almost as proud as me at her achievements! The environment is great and offers a range of activities plus comfy, quiet areas to sit if they want a bit of space.

Our daughter is 18 months and has been attending since she was 1. She had trouble settling in but the staff were really helpful. They are incredibly warm and kind, and help the little ones follow their curiosity and develop. Would recommend! Only downside is issues with the app.
