Welcome to the world of the Funded Hours.

Here you will find many categories of resources available to aid you with providing the funded hours to children under 5.

From September 2025 children from working families between the ages of 9 months up to 5  will be entitled to up to 30 funded hours of Early Education. We understand the changes in entitlement may be quite overwhelming at times but this site is here to support you throughout, whether you just need to download a document or view a quick video on how to navigate confidently around the Provider Portal.

You will also be able to clearly see a calendar displaying the important dates for submissions (Headcounts, Census returns and Estimated Headcounts) along with all the dates for payments so you will always know what is upcoming.
