30 Hour Nursery Funding
We accommodate three and four year old children up to 30 hours' worth of funded sessions per week.
Mithian offer all three and four year olds 15 hours' worth of free early education and childcare before they start school. In addition we offer 30 hours to parents who have access to the funding.

2 - Where you have a partner and one of you gets the following benefits:
- Carer's Allowance
