30 hours funded childcare

The funded hours for 3-4 year olds was extended to 30 hours for working* parents in September 2017.

If eligible, you will be entitled to an extra 570 hours of funded childcare a year to use flexibly. This is 1,140 hours in total.

You, and any partner, must each expect to earn (on average) at least £120 a week (equal to 16 hours at the National Minimum or Living Wage). If you, or your partner, are on maternity, paternity or adoption leave, or you're unable to work because you are disabled or have caring responsibilities, you could still be eligible. 

You can't claim the additional hours if you, or your partner, expect to earn £100,000 or more.
