In the first round of funding, grants will be available to up to 300 schools to deliver new or expanded nurseries.
Money will be allocated to successful schools in spring next year, when the first extra places will be made available.
It is the first step in the Labour government’s manifesto pledge to deliver 3,000 nurseries in primary schools.
How much is available?
A total of £15mn is available in the first round, with schools able to bid for up to £150,000 to use solely for capital expenditure, to convert surplus space within a school building so that it is suitable for nursery provision.
