Funding Information
Eligible parents may be able to access up to 15 hours or 30 hours of free childcare per week for their 2‑year‑old, starting from the term after the child’s second birthday.
- Early Learning for 2 year olds: for those children eligible under the additional support criteria, parents should receive an eligibility letter from Sutton Family Information Service. This letter must be dated within the last six months of them starting. If this letter is older than that, the parent will need to have their eligibility re-checked by the Family Information and Funding Team.
- Working parents: for those children eligible under the working parents criteria, parents should fill in the Parents Declaration Form with their 11 digit eligibility code. Parents must have applied for their code by the end of the term before they wish to start:

Parents are required to check their eligibility and apply for the funding before the start of the term via the government website: https://beststartinlife.gov.uk/childcare-early-years-education/
Please note that any funding approved after the term has already begun will only be applied from the following term.
Parents who are eligible for 2‑year‑old funding must submit their admission application with the funding letter, along with a Parent Declaration Form and any required supporting documents where applicable.
