15 and 30 hours childcare is available to eligible working families in England with children aged between 9 months and 4 year old.
From September 2024, eligible families have been able to access 15 hours of childcare if their child is aged between 9 months and 2 years. This is in addition to the 15 hours available to all parents of three and four year olds. These two offers can be combined to make 30 hours in the term following the child's 3rd birthday.
Just like the 15 hours entitlement, you do not have to offer 30 hours childcare.
From September 2025, the 15 hour working parents offer for 9 months to 2 years old will increase to 30 hours.
