Hove Village can support you in accessing Government help with childcare fees. We support all of the main Government childcare funding schemes.
Tax-Free Childcare
With this scheme, the Government will contribute up to a maximum of £2,000, per year, per child (£4,000 for children with a disability) towards the cost of childcare.
9 months and above EYFE Funding
From September 2024, and following the extension of working parents’ entitlement, eligible families of children aged 9 months and above are entitled to 15 hours per week of childcare. This is the equivalent to 570 hours for the academic year, split over 38 weeks. As we are open for 51 weeks of the year, Hove Village ‘stretches’ your entitlement to cover the full year. For further information, eligibility criteria and how to apply go to the government’s Childcare Choices website.
Some two year olds, whose families are in receipt of Government support are eligible for 15 EYFE funded hours per week (or 570 ‘stretched’ over the year). To find out more and apply, visit: Childcare support for 2 year olds (brighton-hove.gov.uk)
