Hi everyone. I am getting really confused about nursery funding. My husband works part time and I am also working part time. I have been telling my husband to apply for funding as I don’t know much for the last few months but he doesn’t seem to be bothered and every time he comes with some new reason. He said we can’t get free funding for nursery because our earning is more than £16000 a year. Is it true. My baby is already two. Please anyone guide me🙏. Also can someone please tell me the process how can I apply for funding hours??

As long as neither of you earns more than 100k individually you’ll get funded hours providing you also meet the minimum income threshold too which is 16 hours a week at the national living wage or equivalent for each of you. If either works less than this you won’t get them.
You apply through the government gateway just type free childcare for working parents into google.
Tax free childcare is also available on top x
