Working parent Funding
If you live and work in England you may be entitled to 30 hours funded childcare support from the term after your child turns 9 months old, until
they start school. For April 2026, your child will have a birthday of 30th June 2025 or before.
From the term after your child's 3rd birthday, this can be combined with the 15 hour entitlement for all 3 and 4 year olds to make up 30 hours of
funded support over 38 weeks of the year.
You can usually get funded childcare for working parents if you (and your partner, if you have one) are:
-in work or starting a new job
-on sick leave or annual leave
-on shared parental, maternity, paternity or adoption leave
The amount of funded childcare you can get depends on:
-your child’s age and circumstances
-your income (and your partner’s income, if you have one)
-your immigration status
