Eligibility Criteria
If you live and work in England you may be entitled to 30 hours funded childcare support from the term after your child turns 9 months old, until they start school.
You can usually get funded childcare for working parents if you (and your partner, if you have one) are:
-
in work or starting a new job
-
on sick leave or annual leave
-
on shared parental, maternity, paternity or adoption leave
The amount of funded childcare you can get depends on:
-
your child’s age and circumstances
-
your income (and your partner’s income, if you have one)
-
your immigration status
If you are not eligible for the working parent offer you will still receive the 15 hour entitlement for all 3 and 4 year olds from the term after your child turns 3 until they start school, irrespective of your income level, benefit status, or family circumstances.
If you or your child receive some additional forms of support, you may be eligible for 15 hours early learning for 2 year olds under a separate scheme and you should speak to your local council and/or provider in the first instance. If you are eligible, you should still apply for the working parent entitlement, but you will receive 15 hours from each scheme (up to a maximum of 30 hours in total).
Your earnings
Over the next 3 months you and your partner (if you have one) must each expect to earn at least:
-
£2,539 before tax if you’re aged 21 or over (equivalent to £195 per week)
-
£2,080 before tax if you’re aged 18 to 20 (equivalent to £160 per week)
-
£1,570 before tax if you’re under 18 or an apprentice (equivalent to £120 per week)
This is equivalent to the National Minimum Wage or Living Wage for 16 hours a week, on average.
If you are entitled to fifteen hours free, your child can still come to nursery for 30 hours, and receive wrap around care. You only pay for hours over and above your funded hours.
In the fee leaflet below, you’ll find out more about who is eligible for 30 hour funded places, and our fees for nursery, daycare and wrap around care.
