2 year old Funding

Before applying for a 2 Year Old funded space at Unique Academy, parents and guardians must complete the following online application form in order to check their eligibility for the funding. This can be done so by clicking here: https://fsd.hounslow.gov.uk/synergyweb/Enquiries/Citizen/EarlyYears.aspx  

Fees will need to be paid for any pupil who is not legible to receive the 2 Year Old funding.

15 Hours Universal Free Childcare Entitlement

This funding applies to all families in England with 3 and 4 year old children. The funding offers:
● 15 hours of free childcare and early education for 38 weeks
● A total of 570 hours per year

At Unique Academy, every 3 and 4 year old child in our Nursery class as well as 4 year olds in our Reception class will receive 15 hours free funding. This will cease at the end of the term in which a child turns 5 years old.

Parents/Guardians can only accept one offer of a free part-time Nursery place. Therefore, it is not possible for a child to have a free Nursery place at our school in the morning and a free Nursery place at a different school in the afternoon or vice versa.

Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP)

EYPP is extra Government money to boost your three or four year old’s early learning. Your child’s childcare provider or school nursery could get up to £353.40 per year to help with your child’s education. Your childcare provider or school will get the EYPP payment paid to them.

Your child could enjoy:

  • exciting new learning activities
  • extra equipment to help with learning
  • toys, books and equipment to use at home to help them learn
  • one to one or small group sessions
  • widening their life experiences.

It helps your child to:

  • be ready for school
  • develop the language skills that will give them a good start
  • develop self-confidence and social skills
  • keep healthy and active.
  • Your childcare provider or school nursery will work with you on how best to spend the money.


Who can receive EYPP?

If your child is 3 or 4 and gets up to 15 hours free childcare and you get at least one of the following:

  • Income Support
  • income based Jobseeker’s Allowance
  • income related Employment and Support Allowance
  • support under part six of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

  • Universal Credit and your household income is less than £7,400 a year after tax. This does not include any benefits you get.

Your child is being looked after by a local authority or if your child has left care through:

  • adoption
  • a special guardianship order
  • a child arrangements order.
