Grafton House Day Care Nursery Free 15 Hours
Free Childcare Places for 2 Year Olds at Grafton House Day Care Nursery in Tameside
From September 2013, 20% of all 2 year olds nationally will be eligible for a free childcare place, increasing to 40% of all 2 year olds by September 2014. (Subject to parliamentary approval)
Free childcare places for September 2013 will be allocated to children of Tameside families in receipt of the following eligible benefits, which meet the current Free School Meal criteria:
Income support
Income based job seekers’ allowance
Child Tax Credit, provided you are not also claiming Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190
The Guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
Universal Credit
Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
Or
Where the local authority has parental responsibility for a child – a ‘Looked After Child’ subject to a care order
From September 2014, the criteria will be widened, to include more 2 year old children within the borough and increasing the entitlement to 40% nationally. (Subject to parliamentary approval)
The eligibility criteria for the additional 20% of 2 year olds is to be determined by the government and as more information is received, hopefully during 2013, further details will be provided.
