@Natalie we are both working. Updated my post to include this
You apply within 31 days of starting
By the end of August, but aim for July in case there’s delays 🤞🏻
If you earn at least £195 (before tax) a week employed or self-employed you will be entitled to 15/30 hours. The 15 free hours for 9 month olds and up, came into force last September. It helped me tremendously. My baby only goes 2 days a week and I would be paying £580 a month but with the 15 hours free I only pay £260 a month. Can’t wait for September to come to be entitled to 30 hours free child care. https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/15-and-30-hours-childcare-support/working-families
@Applelonia thank you so much! I did hear something about the hours increasing to 30 from September. Fab news!
The hours are for working parents from 9 months so will depend on circumstances.
