We are pleased to confirm that Toddington Day Nursery can offer Nursery Funded Hours for children aged 9 months to 4 years of age.
The money we receive from the Government for these funded hours covers the delivery of the EYFS and does not include the provision of meals and snacks.
All our meals are home cooked, using fresh ingredients, and our menu is rotated over 11 days to ensure your child enjoys delicious and varied meals.
If you would like your child to enjoy our home cooked meals and snacks, we are able to provide these. The cost of meals is included in our hourly rate for additional hours purchased and charged at a voluntary cost of £1.00 per funded hour. This is equivalent to a food charge of £5.00 for a half-day session and £10.00 for a full day session.
Formula milk is not included in the additional food charge, and this must be supplied to us.
Our session times:
Full Day 8am – 6pm (10 hours)
Half Day 8am – 1pm (5 hours)
Half Day 1pm – 6pm (5 hours)

Funded hours
Funded hours can be used for any sessions attended (up to 10 hours a day)
Funded Hours: £00.00
Additional food charge for funded hours: £1.00 per hour
The funding is only provided for 38 weeks of the year. (Equivalent to school term times) and is allocated per term (see below).
Spring Term: January – April
Summer Term: May – August
Autumn Term: September – December
Your 38 weeks funding with us will be stretched over 50 weeks as we are not a term time setting.
The maximum number of hours that can be claimed is either 15 or 30 depending on your entitlement.
Please note that the funding amount on your invoice will vary each month due to the number of days attended.
Eligibility for the additional funded hours is determined by HMRC through this online application, and you will be issued with an eligibility code for the additional funded hours on successful application.
This code needs to be checked to retain eligibility every 3 months and failure to do so will result in you having to meet the full costs of the childcare.
