The local authorities provide a grant to assist  playgroup fees for children who will be three years old at the start of the next term. For example, Tom will be three years old on 15th August and he will be eligible for the grant from the Autumn term after his birthday September to December. Lydia will be three years old on 17 November and she will be eligible for the grant from the spring term after her birthday January to March.

The grant is available for a maximum of fifteen hours per week for 38 full weeks of the year. This will cover up to 5 sessions per week (3hrs long). Little Dragons is usually open for up to 39 weeks per year, so occaisionally there may be an odd day unsupported by funding.

If a child is attending more than one playgroup setting, the grant for up to 15 hours from September is divided between the providers. If children are attending a nursery attached to a school, the school will claim the funding. Attendance registers are kept and show evidence of each child’s attendance record, the time they arrive and the time they leave each session.
