Who can get Funded childcare hours?

Free early-education hours. The age and the number of hours depend on the nation, and some hours depend on work. This is not a cash benefit.

  • Paid by Your council, under national rules.
  • The catalogue looks for: A child under school age.
  • The catalogue looks for: The age fits a funded offer in that nation.
  • The catalogue looks for: Any work test for the extra hours.
  • This is not a decision. The department or the council decides.
