Pentagon Play's Guide To Understanding The School-Based Nursery Capital Funding Grant

Описание: Wanting to apply for the School-based Nursery Capital Grant, but you're unsure on where to start? In this video, we'll discuss each step of the application process and what you need to do!

The first stage of the government’s plan to deliver 3,000 School-based Nurseries has finished, with hundreds of schools over the country now offering childcare placements!

Due to this success, the Government has announced that phase two of the School-based Nursery Grant will be open for primary schools across England on 24th September 2025. Schools can apply for up to £150,000 each of the £350 million of capital funding that has been allocated to support new or expanded nurseries.

With an application deadline of 11 December 2025 at 5pm, time is ticking for schools to get their request for funds in!

So, we thought it would be helpful to outline how to find out if your school is eligible for the SBN grant, how to apply for your share of the funds, and of course, how we at Pentagon can help you to get your new nursery provision off the ground!
