15 free childcare hours

15 hours will start only in September, it’s not available yet.

Your nursery is right. Applications don’t open until May. You’ll have to renew the code too just before your LO get it as it’s every 3 months (every term) x

I’ve been told you can apply from May as well x

You can’t apply until May and it will start in September 😘 x

Is this just England?

You can apply from May but you’re better off doing it end of May so you don’t need to reconfirm your eligibility x

Does anyone know if both parents have to work to receive this please?

yes they do - unless the reason for unemployment is statutory leave, disability or is a carer x

Our nursery wont confirm whether they will offer it 🤪

I think its 12th may you can apply

I’m not sure sorry
