Training Catalogue

You will be able to select a training topic from a range of themes.

You will be offered a choice of dates, but we do ask that the training is delivered within the funding round.

Grant Eligibility

The grants are available in England, Wales and Scotland only. They are available to all schools. Early years providers must have at least 5 staff and a building – either stand alone or part of a school. School nurseries and the attached school will be classed as one setting.

We cannot fund outside of the geographical limits. Individual childminders are not eligible to apply. If you have been awarded a Local School Nature Grant in the last 5 years you will not be eligible in 2020-21.
