Funded childcare for working families with children aged 9-months to 4-year-olds
If you are a working parent you may be entitled to 30 hours funded childcare from the term after your child turns 9 months old.
The offer provides 30 hours of funded childcare per week during term time, totaling 1,140 hours per year, which can be used flexibly.
To qualify, you (and your partner if you have one) must each expect to earn (on average) at least £195 per week.
You will not qualify for funded childcare if you or your partner each individually expect to earn £100,000 adjusted net income or more.
You may still be eligible if your partner is working and you're unable to work due to a disability or caring responsibilities.
You must apply for a code before the term you want to start using the funded childcare.
