The recent announcement by the Government is part of the biggest ever investment in childcare in England, which is set to save working parents using 30 funded hours up to £6,500 per year from September 2025, so you can juggle the job you want with being a parent.
From 2nd January 2024, if you are an eligible working parent with a child who turns two before 31st March, you can apply for 15 hours funded childcare per week to start in April 2024.
You will be able to apply for your 15 hours by visiting the application webpage.
We recommend you do so between mid-January and the end of February to get your code in good time and avoid having to renew registration ahead of the start of the offer in April.
Please note that this is separate to the current funding that is available to certain parents who meet certain criteria, details of which can be found here
