What you need to know?

 

Parents may be able to claim a funded childcare place for their child from aged 9 months to 4 years old. If your child is:​

9 months to 2 years old, 

Can claim 15 hours per week of funded childcare

​

3 to 4 years old,

Can claim 30 hours per week of funded childcare

​​

Eligible working parents of children aged 9 months up to 5 years old can now access 15 hours childcare support.  Eligible children in England may claim 15 hours of funding, that's 570 funded hours per year.  By September 2025, eligible working families with children aged between 9 months and 5 years old will be entitled to 30 hours of childcare support. Eligible children in England may claim 30 hours of funding, that's 1140 funded hours per year.  

​

The ‘30 hours childcare’ scheme is great news for eligible families, who could claim up to double the amount childcare they are currently entitled to.  This could take your funded childcare entitlement from 570 hours a year up to 1,140 hours a year.  If you’re eligible for the extra hours, you can simply sign up online to get a code to give to us your childcare provider to reserve your place. You’ll get the extra hours once your code has been approved.  

​

Here at Early Learners we stretch a child's funding over 12 months/ 52 week (instead of 38 weeks), this is to help working families and spread the savings throughout the year.  Certain nurseries may also offer term-time only sessions across 38 week, however these are limited.
