If you are unsure about your eligibility, our team is happy to provide guidance and support.

Universal 15 Hours

15 Hours for Eligible 2-Year-Olds

Some 2-year-olds may qualify for 15 hours of free childcare if parents meet certain eligibility criteria, such as receiving specific benefits or support based on household income.

30 Hours for Eligible Working Families

Eligible working parents of 3 and 4 year olds may be entitled to 30 hours of funded childcare per week. Eligibility is based on employment and income requirements set by the Government.

Tax-Free Childcare

Eligible families may reduce their childcare costs through the Government's Tax-Free Childcare scheme. Visit the GOV.UK Tax-Free Childcare website to apply.
