Early education and childcare information
This section provides information and guidance about early education and childcare in Kensington and Chelsea, including the different entitlements and funding options and information about local early years providers.
Depending on your circumstances, your child may be eligible for government-funded childcare during term-time.
If you are currently in receipt of additional forms of support (FRAS), or have no recourse to public funds, or if your child has an EHC Plan or is receiving Disability Living Allowance (DLA), you may find further information on section 1 below.
If you (and your partner) are working and earning £195 per week or more, you may access more information in section 2 below:

Early Education and Childcare provision mapping:
A list of local registered Childminders can also be accessed on this list.
Note: Although every effort has been made to ensure this list is up-to-date providers may change their offer at any point. Please do check with providers to confirm their current offer.
Alternatively, if your preferred provider is not on the funded provider list, we would encourage you to contact them directly in case this is something they are able to offer.
