Nursery Funding
Nursery Funding
If you are looking into nursery funding or paying your fees using a tax-free account, please have a look at the links below.
Mrs M Bowman is our contact for Government funding regarding free childcare. However, because everyone's circumstances are different, she cannot advise families on their eligibility. Please follow these links, to help you find out what childcare funding you are entitled to:
Help paying for childcare: 15 hours free childcare for 3 and 4-year-olds - GOV.UK
https://www.gov.uk/free-childcare-if-working
If you are not entitled to funding and/or your child attends but is not yet 2 or 3 years old, there is a Tax-free account that you can set up and link to our school link (Ormskirk CE Primary School). This will again generate a unique code that you will need to email to bursar@ormskirk-ce.lancs.sch.uk
You will make payments directly into this account and then press process, so your payments leave your tax-free account and transfer to Lancashire County Council. Once the payments reach Lancashire they will then send over your payments to our school account using the unique codes we have sent to them on receipt of you providing them to us. This process does see a delay due to the cut-off dates and processing of monthly payments, but it's a great way of saving 20% tax relief on your childcare.
