Funding and Fees Information
At Malvern Way Pre-School, we offer both funded and self-funded places.
 
Self-funded places are available for children who are not yet eligible for government funding. Parents are welcome to pay for sessions until their child becomes eligible for 15 or 30 hours’ funding.
 
30 hours funding is available for working families once a child turns 9 months old, subject to eligibility criteria (the same as our 30-hour nursery places). Parents will need to apply for and provide an eligibility code before funding can be applied.
 
15 hours funding is available for all children from the term after their third birthday (no eligibility code required). For Malvern Way:
·         Children born September–December become eligible from the Spring Term
·         Children born January–March become eligible from the Summer Term
·         Children born April–August become eligible from the Autumn Term
 
Please note that 15-hour funding does not apply in the Autumn Term for children who have only just turned 3 (unless parents are deferring entry).
In limited circumstances, some families may also qualify for 30 hours’ support outside the usual working families’ criteria.
