Our childcare discounts

Funded childcare is offered by the government to help families with the cost of childcare. All families in England have a Universal Entitlement to 15 free hours of childcare a week for 3 and 4-year-olds. Tax Free Childcare and the rest of the government’s funded childcare schemes have a certain eligibility criteria.

At Grandir UK, we enable our families to stretch their funded hours out across 51 weeks of the year, using less hours a week, rather than limit you to the 38 week term time structure. Your little one can start their funded place the term after.

Tax-free childcare

Working families who earn under £100k a year and at least £152 a week can apply for the government’s Tax-Free Childcare scheme.

You’ll be given your own online account which you should pay the money you use for childcare into. For every £8 you put in, the government will put in an extra £2, meaning you could receive up to £2,000 a year toward the costs of your childcare. If your child is disabled, you could receive up to £4000 a year.

To qualify for Tax-Free Childcare, you must not be receiving Tax Credits, Universal Credit, or Childcare Vouchers.

15 hours funded childcare (for children aged 2)

If you currently receive certain benefits, including Income Support, Income-Based Job Seeker’s Allowance and Universal Credit, you’re entitled to 15 hours of free childcare a week. This amounts to 570 hours of free childcare per year.

15 hours funded childcare Universal Entitlement (for children aged 3 & 4)

All families in England, regardless of income or the benefits you receive, are entitled to 15 hours of free childcare a week for 3-and-4-year-old children. Your little one can start their funded place the term after their 3rd birthday. Term starts on 1st January, 1st April and 1st September.

30 hours funded childcare (for children aged 3 & 4)

Families who are individually expected to earn less than £100k a year but more than £152 a week are entitled to 30 free hours of childcare a week for 3-and-4-year-olds. This is equal to 1,140 hours of free childcare a year.

Outstanding care, friendly staff and a transparent kitchen. Kids were always excited to be there and no concerns raised.
