1140 Funded Hours from August 2020

At Woodland Outdoor Kindergartens we offer full day places; 10 hours from 8am to 6pm, across 51 weeks of the year. The Council are offering 1140 hours of funding divided across a 50 week year, which equates to 22.8 hours of funding each week. This means if you wish to allocate 20 hours of your weekly funding to your child’s place at WOK then your child can attend WOK two full days per week at no cost to you. If you wish to attend a third day, you can allocate your child’s remaining 2.8 hours to that day, and pay the remaining 7.2 hours directly to the Kindergarten at the current hourly rate.  

Split Placements 

Your child can access their funding across one or more registered services, you can either pay for these places privately or via funded hours. Please note that if you are also accessing funded hours at a term time only nursery, then the weekly entitlement will be adjusted to reflect this. Your child cannot claim more than 1140 hours per 50 weeks, pro rata for children who start after mid August. 

Funding allocation options at WOK – the minimum allocation is 2.5 funded hours per week, up to a maximum of 22.8 hours a week. Funded hours can be allocated in 0.5 hour blocks.  

NB If you allocate less than 10 hours of funding to a day at WOK, then the remaining hours will be invoiced at our hourly rate.
