Quaggy Development Trust offers government funded places for children across both of our nurseries, Quaggy Children’s Centre and Margaret Bondfield Nursery.

There are now different forms of government funding available to fund some hours at nursery depending on your child’s age, this could be anything from 15 hours per week up to 30 hours per week term time only, from the term after your child turns 9 months old if you are both working.

You may also be eligible to access 15 hours free childcare the term after your child turns 2 years.

You may be eligible to receive funding the term following your child reaching 9 months old up to when they leave nursery provision to go to school.

More information is available on the childcare choices website or you can get more information by clicking the links below.

Please feel free to ask us for help as we are happy to support and ensure that you are accessing and eligible for the appropriate funding for your child.

Research has shown that good quality early learning and care can expand children’s development especially in communication and language, developing their physical skills and socialising with other children and making friends.

We look forward to helping you and welcoming you to one of our settings.
