If your child turns two on or before 31st March, and you are an eligible working parent in England, you can apply for up to 15 hours childcare or early education per week, over 38 weeks of the year. This is the first stage of the biggest ever childcare expansion in England, so parents can juggle the job they want whilst also being a parent. The deadline to apply is 31st March. We recommend you do so by the end of February to get the required childcare code in good time. Holly House will accept all 2 year olds with the new funding code, subject to availability. To continue receiving the government support, parents need to reconfirm their details every three months on their gov.uk account. You can use the 15 hours childcare alongside other childcare schemes such as Tax-Free Childcare or Universal Credit Childcare.
