Funded Early Learning & Childcare

In Scotland, all children aged 3 and 4 are entitled to funded early learning and childcare (ELC). Some 2-year-olds may also be eligible. Funded hours can be used to reduce or offset the cost of your childcare place at Little Kickers.

Universal Entitlement (Age 3–4)

All children in Scotland are entitled to 1,140 hours of funded early learning and childcare per year from the term after their third birthday until they start school. This works out at approximately 30 hours per week during term time.

Extended Entitlement (Some 2-Year-Olds)

Some 2-year-olds may be eligible for funded hours, depending on family circumstances. Eligibility is assessed by your local council. Please speak to us or contact your local authority to find out if your child qualifies.

How Funded Hours Work With Us

We are registered to deliver funded early learning and childcare. Funded hours can be applied to your child's place at Little Kickers, reducing the amount you pay. We will work with you to make the most of your entitlement.

Tax-Free Childcare

You may also be eligible for Tax-Free Childcare through the UK Government, which allows eligible working parents to receive up to £500 every 3 months (up to £2,000 per year) towards childcare costs. Visit the UK Government website or speak to us for more information.
