30 hours free childcare
Working parents may be eligible for an extra 15 hours childcare a week from September 2017.
How it works
All 3 to 4-year-olds in England are entitled to 15 hours a week, or 570 hours a year of free early education.
Families where both parents/carers are working (or one if a lone parent) and earn at least the equivalent of minimum wage for 16 hours a week but under £100,000 per year may be eligible for 30 hours (from September 2017).
Please be aware that the entitlement to a free place does not offer a guarantee of a place at any one provider or a particular pattern of provision.
