We are able to offer a limited number of 30-hour childcare places for eligible families.
Eligibility Requirements
If your child is three years old and you live in a household with working parents, your child may be eligible for a 30-hour placement.
To qualify, you (and your partner, if you have one) must:
- Each expects to earn at least the equivalent of the National Minimum Wage or Living Wage for 16 hours per week, on average, over the next 3 months
- Have an adjusted net income of less than £100,000 per year
The minimum income threshold varies by age:
- £2,539 per 3 months (£195 weekly) if you’re 21 or over
- £2,080 per 3 months (£160 weekly) if you’re 18-20
- £1,570 per 3 months (£120 weekly) if you’re under 18 or an apprentice
