The school-based nursery grant is back for 2025–26


Phase 2 is here and primary schools and maintained nurseries can now apply for up to £150,000 of capital funding to create or expand on-site nurseries. This grant is designed to improve early years provision for children aged 2–4 years old, and funding can be used for a wide range of projects... including safe, inspiring outdoor play areas.

The application window is open from 22 September 2025 to 5pm on 11 December 2025, so let's get started!
