Applications open for working families from Sunday 12th May 2024, eligible working parents will be able to apply for 15 hours of government-funded childcare to be accessed from September 2024 (applications need to be made by August 31st).

Am I eligible?

You, and any partner, must each expect to earn (on average) at least £183 per week (equal to 16 hours at the National Minimum or Living Wage).

If you, or your partner, are on maternity, paternity or adoption leave, or you're unable to work because you are disabled or have caring responsibilities, you could still be eligible.

You can't get either 15 or 30 hours childcare if you, or your partner, each individually expect to earn £100,000 adjusted net income or more.
