Ditton Church Pre School offer the following funding opportunities:

​

Universal funding for 3-4 year olds

All children, from the term after they are 3, are entitled to a maximum of 15 hours of funded childcare per week which can be split over 3 settings, but with children attending no more than two different settings in any one day. We claim the funding from KCC, based on the hours which Ditton Church Pre School can offer.

​

There is no guarantee that your child will be able to have the full 15 hours at Ditton Church Pre School, as the hours which your child is offered are dependent on the level of children already attending at that time.

​

Universal funding can be used between 9-12.45 Monday – Thursday.  Fees apply for the afternoon if children stay until 3.30.

​

Working Family Funding

Eligible parents are able to claim 30 hours funding for children aged 9 months to school age.  This funding can be used between 9 and 3.30 Monday - Thursday.
