Summary
15 hours for two year olds
Eligible families are able to apply for up to 15 hours per week of free childcare for their two year old children. This can give you more time to take up a college course or return to work, as well as give your child the opportunity to learn, play with friends, experience new activities and get ready for school.
15 hours for three and four year olds
All children are entitled to receive up to 15 hours per week over 38 weeks (term time) from the term after their third birthday as part of the Government’s early education funding scheme.
30 hours for three and four year olds
From September 2017 eligible three and four year olds will be able to apply for an additional 15 hours of childcare to support parents into work or to work extra hours should they wish.
