FUNDING: Anglia Sunshine Nurseries offers funding in accordance with the most recent Suffolk County Council’s guidance, for children from the term following their 3^rd birthday.

We support 2-year-old funding if presented with a golden ticket or code. Subsidised funded places will only be guaranteed once we have received and validated your code. All places are offered subject to availability.

Government funding is intended to deliver 15 – 30 hours a week of free, high quality flexible childcare. It is not intended to cover the cost of food, other consumables, additional hours, or additional activities. Parents can therefore expect to pay for any food, consumables, and additional activities. The Department for Education (DfE).

We are aware that parents do not seem to be receiving full and comprehensive information regarding their child’s eligibility for funding. The best way to check if your child could receive 15 hours of childcare at a reduced rate is via the following link: https://www.gov.uk/help-with-childcare-costs/free-childcare-and-education-for-2-to-4-year-olds
