Provision
A scheme to provide children whose parents are unable to afford nursery fees with a free childcare place is being launched by N Family Club.

Currently the nursery group does not offer funded two-year-old places.

Instead, under the nursery group’s £80,000 bursary scheme, four children aged two will receive three full days childcare at one of the group’s sites all year round until they start school. Each bursary place will be fully funded, and families will have access to all that N Family Club offers.

The scheme is partly funded through the nursery group’s revenue and with donations from other companies. Funds management company Gravis is the first to partner with N Family Club.

N Family Club is working with a number of local authorities to identify eligible children and decide which settings they should attend.
