Funded childcare


If you live and work in England you may be entitled to 30 hours funded childcare support from the term after your child turns 9 months old, until they start school. 
You can usually get funded childcare for working parents if you (and your partner, if you have one) are:
•    in work or starting a new job
•    on sick leave or annual leave
•    on shared parental, maternity, paternity or adoption leave


The amount of funded childcare you can get depends on:
•    your child’s age and circumstances
•    your income (and your partner’s income, if you have one)
•    your immigration status


If you are not eligible for the working parent offer you will still receive the 15 hour entitlement for all 3 and 4 year olds from the term after your child turns 3 until they start school, irrespective of your income level, benefit status, or family circumstances.


If you or your child receive some additional forms of support, you may be eligible for 15 hours early learning for 2 year olds under a separate scheme and you should speak to your local council and/or provider in the first instance. If you are eligible, you should still apply for the working parent entitlement, but you will receive 15 hours from each scheme (up to a maximum of 30 hours in total).

 

Disability access fund


Your child’s early years provider could get £910 or more per year to help with their education and support.


This will be paid direct to your early years provider.


You can apply to get disability access funding if your child receives Disability Living Allowance for children and one of the following:
•    15 hours free childcare for children aged 3 and 4
•    15 hours free childcare for disadvantaged children aged 2


You do not need to use all of your hours to be eligible for disability access funding.
