Tiddlywinks generally has three intakes a year in September, January and April depending on available places. We will contact parents of children on our waiting list when preparing for children to join us at these times. Children are also welcome to join us at any time during the year when places are available. Please contact the setting and speak to the manager to discuss your needs.

​

​Current early years funding in England offers 15 hours for all 3 & 4-year-olds and disadvantaged 2-year-olds.

 

Following a major expansion for working parents from September 2025, eligible working parents can claim 30 hours for children from 9 months old up to school age. This aims to provide 30 hours for most working families, extending support for younger children significantly. 

 

Funding is also available for 15 hours each week for some two year olds depending on parents circumstances.

 

Please see the links for 30 hours and for 2 year funding on our links webpage for eligibility and application details.

​

We also welcome two year olds not eligible for funding on a paid basis.
