Funded places for September — don't miss out
The new term starts on Monday 7 September, and funded places are filling up across all three branches. If your child is eligible, a funded place could save your family thousands of pounds a year — here’s how it works.
Your options
| Session | Times (Mon–Fri, term time) | Funded hours |
|---|---|---|
| Morning | 9.15am – 12.15pm | 15 hours/week |
| Afternoon | 12.45pm – 3.45pm | 15 hours/week |
| Full time | 9.15am – 3.15pm | 30 hours/week |
- Every 3 and 4 year old gets 15 funded hours a week — no work requirement, no conditions.
- Eligible working families can claim up to 30 hours, and many 2 year olds qualify for funded places too.
How much you save
Compared with paying our standard £10/hour rate over a typical 38-week year:
- 15 funded hours are worth around £5,700 a year to your family.
- 30 funded hours are worth around £11,400 a year.
And at Iqra there’s genuinely nothing on top: no registration fee, no deposit, and no extra charges on funded places.
