WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

    • All 3 and 4 year olds are entitled upto 15 hours free childcare over 38 weeks
    • Working parents who meet the criteria could be entitled to an extra 15 hours of free childcare for their 3 and 4 year olds.
    • You can use more than one childcare provider for the 30 hours free childcare (2 in any one day)
    • The extra hours can be taken on and our of term time.
Will I qualify for 30 hours free childcare?

Parents of three and four year olds will need to meet the following criteria in order to be eligible for 30 hours free childcare: 
    •  They earn or expect to earn the equivalent to 16 hours at National Minimum or Living Wage over the coming three months.
    • This equates to £120 a week (or c.£6,000 a year) for each parent over 25 years old or £112.80 a week (or c.£5,800 a year) for each parent between 21 and 24 years old and £56 a week for apprentices in their first year.
    • This applies whether you are in paid employment, self-employed or on zero hours contract
    • The parent (and their partner where applicable) should be seeking the free childcare to enable them to work
    • Where one or both parents are on maternity, paternity, shared parental or adoption leave, or if they are on  statutory sick leave.
    • Where one parent meets the income criteria and the other is unable to work because they are disabled, have  responsibilities or have been      assessed as having limited capability to work
    • Where a parent is in a ‘start-up period’ (i.e. they are newly self-employed) they do not need to demonstrate  that they meet the income criteria for 12 months
    • If one or both parents is a non-EEA national, the parent applying must have recourse to public funds 

A parent will not meet the criteria when:
    • Either parent has an income of more than £100,000 
    • If one or both parents is a non-EEA national and the parent applying does not have recourse to public funds 

 What happens if a parent loses eligibility?
    • They will receive a ‘grace period’ – this means they will be able to keep their childcare for a short period.
    • Once the ‘grace period’ has lapsed, the parent should be entitled to the universal 15-hour entitlement.
