💷 Funding Information
The UK government offer up to 30 hours of funded childcare per week for working parents in England, available for children 9 months to 4 years. Eligibility requires both parents to be working, earning at least the equivalent of 16 hours at the national minimum or living wage over the next three months, with individual incomes not exceeding £100,000 annually. To apply, parents must create an account on the government’s childcare service website, provide necessary details, and, upon approval, receive an 11 digit code to share with their childcare provider. Reconfirmation of eligibility is required every three months to maintain the entitlement. For more information or to apply please use the link below to visit the official government website.
