You can apply for more than one nursery place for your child; however, it's essential to discuss your plans with each childcare provider beforehand to understand how they might accommodate multiple applications.
If you're looking for funded childcare, here’s a summary of what you can expect:
| Age Group | Funded Hours |
|---|---|
| Two-year-olds | 15 hours per week, usually over 38 weeks per year |
| Three and Four-year-olds | 15 hours per week; some may qualify for 30 hours if they meet working parent criteria |
For more information and to apply online, you can visit the Stoke nursery admissions page. If you need further assistance with your application, you can contact the council at 01782 232200 or via email at beststart@stoke.gov.uk.
