We know childcare costs can be a struggle. Therefore, from September 2017, three and four year olds of working parents in England will be entitled to an additional 570 hours per year, meaning these families will be able to claim up to 1,140 hours of free early education and childcare per year. You may have heard this being talked about as “30 hours free childcare”. Three and four year olds in eligible working families will get an additional 15 hours free childcare, equalling 30 hours free per week over 38 weeks of the year (term-time) or approximately 22 hours per week each week of the year. Please click the button below to see if you are entitled to 30 hours free childcare. Also, if you are eligible then please contact Nick or Andrea via phone or email.
