Funded childcare

Partou Turney 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 Turney Road Day Nursery & Pre-School work with Southwark 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 Turney 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 has been at the nursery for 18 months and has thrived. I feel confident that she is having a great time while there, that she is being looked after by people who care, and that she is learning and growing at the same time. They have helped her through big events such as a new sibling and ...

We love Nelly's Turney Road! Our 15-month-old all started in the baby room a few months ago and we were impressed with them from the get-go. They offered a long settling-in period (4-6 weeks) which really supported our son's transitions. They have been able to support individual children's routines/n...

At this point in her life, social skills are crucial, and l can see the footprints as the days go by. The nursery is quite a distance from me. But l am pleased th...
