For children aged nine months to four years.
From September 2025, the 15 hours of childcare for eligible working families will expand to 30 hours, allowing eligible working parents to apply for 30 hours of childcare from the term after their child turns nine months until they reach school age.
If you currently receive 15 hours for working families, reconfirm as usual, and the code will be applied to the 30-hour offer in September (provided you remain eligible). Please ensure you have worked with the nursery to confirm your new attendance pattern for your increased hours.
- If your child is fully funded, you will only need to pay for the cost of meals during their sessions.
- If you receive funded hours but choose to add extra hours, you will be charged the hourly rate for the additional time.
- If you are not receiving any funding, you will be charged the full session price.
