FUNDING OVERVIEW

Access free early care and education through government funding.

From Sept 2025, most children are entitled to up to 30 hours of government-funded childcare over 38 weeks. At the Mulberry Bush, we stretch this to 22 hours per week for 51 weeks. Working hours and salary thresholds apply.

Check the government’s website for eligibility details via the ‘Learn More’ button below, or ask our nursery staff for help with the process.

FOOD, HEALTH AND WELLBEING

Healthy eating is at the heart of our nursery ethos. We offer a variety of nutritious meals and snacks, all made by our talented chefs onsite, encouraging children to explore new flavours and textures and fostering a positive relationship with food from an early age.

TRANSITIONS TO SCHOOL

We strive to make this transition extra enjoyable by providing various engaging activities. From showcasing pictures of your child’s new classroom and teachers to arranging visits from their future teacher, we ensure a smooth transition.
