Dickory Docks Educational Day Nursery
New Childcare Grants 2024 / 2025
We strive to provide competitive prices and excellence in childcare. All our children deserve the best. We offer EEE grants to 2 year old 15 hours funded children, as well as 15 and 30 hours funded places for 3 and 4 year olds.
We will offer the new 2 year childcare grant of 15 hours for all working parents from April 2024. Further more, we will offer the 15 hours grant for working parents of 9 months to 2 years from September 2024, and then continue to provide 30 hours funding from September 2025.
Our prices are calculated differently for sessional children (Babies and some Toddlers not funded), and for 15 hour and 30 hours funded children.
