What support
could you use?
We offer government-funded places for eligible children. Entitlement depends on your circumstances, and the sessions available at Trinity Hall depend on our provision and vacancies.
Our 30-hour provision is limited. Please ask us which funded session patterns we can currently offer. A funding code does not guarantee a particular place or timetable.
We also accept payments through Tax-Free Childcare. The team can explain how to use this for eligible paid childcare costs.

Let’s put the
pieces together.
Ask for a clear explanation of your sessions, funded hours and any additional costs.
Are 30 hours the same as 15 hours plus another 30?
No. The 30-hour entitlement includes the universal 15 hours where applicable. Check the official guidance for your circumstances.
Will I need to pay anything else?
Ask the team for a breakdown for your chosen sessions, including any meals, lunch supervision, optional extras or other charges, and the arrangements for accessing a funded place.
How do I arrange a funded place?
First check eligibility on the official government website. Then contact Trinity Hall to discuss available sessions and the next steps. Please do not include National Insurance numbers, dates of birth or funding codes in the initial enquiry form.
Can I split funding across two settings?
Our published fees information notes that funding can be split between settings. Ask both providers to confirm how a proposed split would work before making arrangements.
