​

For children within our Nursery School room, aged 3 and 4 years. Funding can be used during our school sessions only. 8.30-3.30.

 

From September 2025

For children aged 9 months to 4 years.

​

From September 2025, 15 hours for working families with children under 3 will expand to 30 hours, meaning eligible working families can now apply for 30 hours of childcare from the term after their child turns 9 months until they reach school age.

If you currently receive 15 hours for working parents, just reconfirm as usual and the code will work for the 30 hours offer in September, providing you remain eligible. The eligibility and validity of the code is the responsibility of parents. 

 

Eligibility Criteria

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).

Your earnings

​

Over the next 3 months you and your partner (if you have one) must each expect to earn at least:

• £2,539 before tax if you’re aged 21 or over (equivalent to £195 per week)

• £2,080 before tax if you’re aged 18 to 20 (equivalent to £160 per week)

• £1,570 before tax if you’re under 18 or an apprentice (equivalent to £120 per week)

This is equivalent to the National Minimum Wage or Living Wage for 16 hours a week, on average.

 

​​​If you are entitled to fifteen hours free, your child can still come to nursery for 30 hours, and receive wrap around care. You only pay for hours over and above your funded hours.
