Nursery Funding Codes

15 or 30 hour Funding Codes - January 2026

If your child is due to start at our nursery from January 2026 and you think as a working parent you are eligible for 2 year old funding you MUST apply for your code before 31st December to ensure your funding can start from January 2026. However, we will need to check codes before the end of the Autumn term so please let us have your code before 5th December 2025.

Please check your eligibility here.

Some families of 2-year-olds may also be eligible for 15 hours of funding from the term after they turn 2 - this is called FEET/Disadvantage Funding.  Please go to the Local Authority Website and search for 2-year-old funding for details on eligibility and how to apply online.

You should apply for your code even if you don’t think at this stage you want to use it. Things might change and the code is only valid from the term after you apply.

For example:

Apply for your code and receive it by 31st December 2025 - use it from 1st January 2026 onwards.

Apply for your code and receive it by 31st March 2026 - use it from 1st April 2026 onwards.

Apply for your code and receive it by 31st August 2026 – use it from 1st September 2026 onwards.
