Our Funding models
At Amberley Nursery, we are committed to providing access to high-quality Early Years Education Entitlement, EYEE. The EYEE only provides basic, minimum standards for care & education, covering simply the place for your child.
We are proud to offer government funded places for eligible children. Families may choose to take their funded entitlement on its own, with no requirement to purchase additional hours. To support the sustainability and quality of our provision, we also offer longer sessions that combine funded and paid hours for families who need them. These sessions are optional and designed to support continuity of care. Families wishing to access a funded only place may do so; please speak to management about available session times.

Minimum Attendance
Regular attendance is essential for your child’s well-being and progress. To support continuity of care and help children feel secure, we strongly recommend a minimum of two sessions per week. Please note that while this is our recommended practice for a successful transition, it is not a requirement for families accessing only their funded entitlement
Initial 3-Month Commitment
- No session reductions are allowed within the first three months of attendance. After this, one month’s notice is required.
- Session increases may be accommodated if space allows.
- Parents may switch to a funded-only place, subject to availability.
