Terrific Two’s

Terrific Two’s is the funded place for 2 year olds in Enfield. The council now calls it Early Learning for 2-year-olds. It gives up to 15 hours of funded childcare a week over 38 weeks of the year, and your child can use it at Little Learners Nurseries.

Your child is eligible if any of these apply:

• you get Universal Credit and your household income is £15,400 a year or less after tax, not counting benefit payments
• you get Income Support, income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance or income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• you get the guaranteed element of Pension Credit
• your child has an education, health and care (EHC) plan
• your child gets Disability Living Allowance
• your child is looked after by the local authority
• your child has left care under an adoption order, special guardianship order or child arrangements order

If your immigration status means you cannot claim benefits, your child may still be eligible, depending on your household income and savings. Read the full rules on GOV.UK

If you are not an Enfield resident but wish to attend our setting, please apply to the council you pay Council Tax to, and bring their email or letter confirming your child is eligible to us.

If you need support completing the application form online please visit one of the Little Learners Nurseries and we can help you complete the form.

Once you are eligible, your local authority will email you a confirmation with your code. Please bring this confirmation to us so we can verify eligibility with them. After your eligibility is confirmed, your child can start attending your preferred Little Learners Nursery.

If you also work, you may be able to get another 15 hours a week through the 30 hours scheme for working parents, making 30 in total. If you qualify for both, apply for Terrific Two’s first.
