15 and 30 Hour Funding
The Marmalade Schools offer an extensive and high-quality education, with high staff to children ratios, highly qualified staff, additional peripatetic teachers and many consumables. The 15 or 30 Hour Universal Funded Offer nursery education grant is intended to cover the delivery of childcare only and does not cover the cost of the extras listed above that the Marmalade Schools provide. On registration parents are asked if they want to accept the agreed package of services or want the fully funded offer. Fully funded places are offered at our nurseries. Availability and booking patterns vary from nursery to nursery. If parents require a fully funded place, then they must make this known at the time of registration and we will discuss the options available at each nursery directly with the parents.
The 30 Hour Funding offer is also offered to parents who meet the much stricter government eligibility guidelines, again subject to accepting a package of agreed services.
The Marmalade Schools also offer the 2 year old grant for working parents provided the parents are eligible and have applied through the government website for the code. Parents will also need to accept a package of agreed services to benefit from this provision at the Marmalade Schools
For parents who are looking for the Fully funded offer these are offered and availability although booking patterns vary from nursery to nursery. Those parents who do not wish to agree to an agreed package of additional services must make this known at the time of registration and we will discuss the options available at each nursery directly with the parents.
