If you are a working parent(s)
Your 2-year-old can get 30 hours of funded childcare per week (from September 2025) if you live in England and meet the following criteria:
- You, and any partner, must each expect to earn the equivalent of at least 16 hours per week at the National Minimum Wage or Living Wage.
- If you, or your partner, are on maternity, paternity or adoption leave, or you're unable to work because you are disabled or have caring responsibilities, you could still be eligible.
- You can't get funded childcare hours if you, or your partner, each individually expect to earn £100,000 adjusted net income or more.

Please remember you will need to renew your code every 3 months to continue claiming the funding.
