From September 2025, working parents in England can access up to 30 hours of free childcare per week for children as young as 9 months old. This new government initiative offers a valuable helping hand to working families, easing the cost of childcare and supporting children’s early development during their most important years.
At Phoenix Park Nursery Nuthall, we’re proud to offer these funded hours in a setting where curiosity, care, and diversity come together to give your child the very best start in life. Whether they’re just 9 months old or ready to transition into preschool, our warm and home-from-home environment helps every child feel confident, supported, and ready to explore.
