New 15 Hours Funding for 2 year olds

The government have announced that there will be new funding available from April 2024 for 2 year olds. If you are working at least 16 hours per week but earning less than £100,000 a year you may be eligible for 15 free hours per week, during term-time. To find out more and to register visit the government's website

As term-time is 38 weeks per year, at Buttercups we stretch this over the 51 weeks we are open. This equates to 11.8 free hours per week. Parents will need to pay for any additional hours they use and we request a minimum attendance of 2 days per week.

See our Guide to Funding for more information.
