‘Mummy when can I play?’

All 3 & 4 year old children can have a Free Early Education place in a registered childcare setting from the school term after their 3rd birthday. In Kirklees, children can access up to 15 hours each week for 38 weeks of the year.

Good childcare gives children a great start in life; it supports children to learn and develop their communication, language and literacy skills, provides the opportunity to play with other children in a safe but challenging environment, improves their physical, social and emotional development and helps children achieve more at school. By playing with different toys, outdoor equipment and exploring new surroundings your child will have lots of fun while they learn.

Whether you’d like to return to work, training or further education; want to spend more time with younger children, meet up with other mums and dads or just need a bit of ‘me’ time. Free childcare is good for you and even better for your child.

You can access the free places at registered childcare settings including day nurseries, playgroups, preschools, independent schools, and some accredited childminders across Kirklees.

Children & Families Information Service can help you find the right childcare setting to meet your child’s needs. We also offer free information for children, young people and their parents and carers on childcare, parenting issues, family activities and organisations to support you: Telephone: 01484 223041 Email: cfis@kirklees.gov.uk Web: www.kirklees.gov.uk/keys
