Term dates for nursery funding

DD will be eligible for the universal 15hs funding the term after she's 3 (not earlier than that as we're higher earners).

It's not till next year but I'm trying to be organised.

But where do we find what the count as term dates? She's a late April birthday, so some schools will be back, others still on Easter hols.

If she turns 3 in April she will get funding from 1st September.

Yes as above, the cut off date is 31st March.

The school term dates should be published on your local authority website. Please note that the funding is only 38 weeks of the year and there is usually a week at the end of the autumn term that is not covered by funded hours so you will be charged for that.

Thanks all!

The school term dates I could find but they're not all identical and DD's birthday fell between them. So the info @SchoolDilemma17 posted is exactly what I was after - thanks!
