30 Hours Entitlement
If both parents/single parents are working more than 16 hours at minimum wage (or equivalent) your child may be entitled to 30 hours free child care (including 15 hours education).
Parents must apply online at www.childcarechoices.gov.uk to obtain an eligibility code before a 30 hour place can be confirmed. Applications can be made as early as 16 weeks before your child’s third birthday.
Parents will have the option of paying for extra hours if they wish their child to stay until 3.30pm on Fridays.
