A child is entitled to 30 hours for eligible working parents of 9 month olds plus provided the eligibility criteria is met from HMRC.
3 and 4 year olds (15 hours universal entitlement)
A child is entitled to an additional 15 hours (30 hour entitlement)
From the effective date, a child will be entitled to the specified free hours set out in the table below:
At Little Laura’s we offer all funding either term time only over 38 weeks or stretched funding (all year round) at 22 hours per week over 50 weeks of the year.
The free childcare entitlements are delivered completely free of charge, however they are not intended to cover the costs of all food, and other consumables (such as sun cream, wipes, calpol etc), additional hours or additional activities. Our methodology was chosen based on our desire to make the funded hours as accessible as possible for everyone, whilst continuing to provide the highest standard of care with additional services available.
We ask families to attend for more than 1 day for continuity for their child’s well-being as a single day can be very unsettling when building relationships with their peers and teachers. Attending a minimum of two 7 hour days is advised. To enable the nursery to provide hot lunch, snacks, other consumables and activities to support families, above and beyond the delivery of the EYFS those that can be provided for through the free entitlement, we ask parents to choose to opt in or out of the ‘voluntary payment’ please see further detail below.
Flexibility and guaranteed advance booking of days (where available or at the earliest opportunity)
The ‘additional voluntary payment for meals, consumables, outings and events’ is: £13.50 per funded day
Where the funding is used for part of a day (less than 4hrs) there is no request for a voluntary contribution.
If you wish to opt out of the voluntary payment for meals, consumables, outings and events:
It is not compulsory to commit to the voluntary payment and parents/carers can choose to opt out of these services. If you choose to opt out please supply your child with the following:
Should any items be forgotten or snacks/ lunch not provided and they require our food then this will be added onto your invoice at £15 per day.
You will be charged for any additional hours you have chosen of childcare your child has over and above the free entitlement at Little Laura’s hourly rate. (If your child attends a second nursery setting, your childcare funding will be split between settings and therefore you will be liable for any hours over and above the funding.)

Little Laura’s Nursery is situated in West Lavington, which is a quaint village near Midhurst. The old school building is now home to Little Laura’s Nursery. The building is perfect for the Nursery as there are two large classrooms and plenty of outdoor space for the children to move freely around regardless of the weather.
