BIG CHANGES TO FREE CHILDCARE COMING IN SEPTEMBER 2025

Childcare Choices: Get the help that fits your family, so you can juggle work and life

Early Years childcare support is expanding.   

From September 2025, 15 hours for working families with children under 3 will expand to 30 hours, meaning eligible working families can now apply for 30 hours of childcare from the term after their child turns 9 months until they reach school age.  

If you currently receive 15 hours for working parents, just reconfirm as usual and the code will work for the 30 hours offer in September, providing you remain eligible. 


Thousands of families could be saving money on their childcare costs. But some simply don’t know what support they might be eligible for. The Childcare Choices website brings together all the existing childcare offers in one place, so parents can get the help that fits their family. This could be through Tax-Free Childcare, 30 Hours Childcare, or Universal Credit Childcare. Some families might be eligible to use more than one childcare schemes together and get the most out of it.
And from next year even more help is on the way:

Don’t miss out on getting the support you are entitled to. Visit the Childcare Choices website to check what offer you might be eligible for and sign up to their newsletter to get the latest updates about the childcare support expansion.

Please come into our branch and speak to our managers if you need help applying for funding.

We have three unique environments that cater for a variety of age ranges in each of our settings. We create a loving and caring atmosphere for all children in our care which will bring a sense of security essential for their well-being.

Hatchlings Learning In The Nest

The Nest caters for children who are 3 months to 2 years old providing the highest quality care in a nurturing environment designed with the parent and child in mind. Whilst in our care, children are stimulated with engaging activities as they learn through exploration and play. 

Staff in this room have had specific training on how to provide a high-quality experience for your child, with the National Day Nurseries Association.

Little Hoots Learning In The Barn

The Barn caters for children who are 2 years to 3 years old. At this age, children are meeting new challenges and learn best in a stimulating environment. Our well qualified staff help facilitate learning and discovery through interest-based activities which encourage investigation and exploration.

Fledglings Learning In The Tree Tops

The Treetop caters for children who are aged 3 and 4. We maintain the value of play and focus on learning as it best suits the individual child. We take an enthusiastic approach designed to motivate the children in a fun and exciting way to learn some very important skills to assist each child to transition to school successfully.

Forest School Ethos

At Flying High we recognise the value of outdoor learning and adopt a Forest Schools approach. We have amazing outdoor areas that allow children to develop their learning outdoors.

​The ethos of Forest School is based on a fundamental respect for children and young people and for their capacity to investigate, test and maintain curiosity in the world around them.  It believes in:

Children’s right to:

  • Play
  • Access the outdoors
  • Access risk and the vibrant reality of the natural world
  • Experience a healthy range of emotions

Through challenges of social interaction.
