15 hours free childcare for 3 and 4 year olds
All 3 to 4 year olds in England can get 570 free hours per year. This equates to 15 hours per week during term time. Some 3 to 4 year olds are eligible for 30 hours free childcare a week (see link below to check eligibility and how to apply).
15 hours fully funded are available from the term after your child's 3rd birthday, starting on 1 January, 1 April or 1 September. You may have to pay for extra costs such as: meals, additional hours, extra activities eg trips. It may be that your child is eligible for Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) which will give them free school meals during nursery.
