Don't show me this again

Available to LG Inform Plus subscribers, it provides information on what current legislation gives English and Welsh councils the power to do and what it requires them to do in law. Advanced searching and filtering options make it easy to find specific powers and duties based on legislation, business function and keyword, and results are easily exported in commonly used formats.

Nursery education grant (50) Service

The Nursery Education Grant (NEG) is funding made available to provide three or four year old children with a free, or grant funded, part-time early education place. All 3 to 4-year-olds in England can get 570 free hours per year. ItÕs usually taken as 15 hours a week for 38 weeks of the year, but parents can choose to take fewer hours over more weeks, for example. Some 3 to 4-year-olds are eligible for 30 hours free childcare a week.
