The Welsh Government funds the council to ensure that all children in Powys have access to free part-time early years education from the beginning of the term following the child's third birthday.
Each qualifying child can receive a maximum of 10 hours per week of funded early years education if they attend an approved, funded pre-school education setting.
Children eligible for free part time education will only receive the funded place if they are attending an approved funded pre-school education setting.
Cllr Pete Roberts, Cabinet Member for a Learning Powys, said:
"I would encourage all parents and carers to complete this application as soon they can after the admissions round opens to ensure that their child has the best opportunity of a place at their preferred early years / pre-school setting next year.
"If it is not completed in time, this may put at risk their child's place at their preferred setting if it is a very popular one."
Parents / carers will need to complete an online application form which can be found at Apply for Pre-School (3 and 4-year-olds) Early Years Education.
If you have any queries or are having problems completing or submitting the application, please contact the Admissions Team on 01597 826449 or email [email protected]
