Funded 15 & 30 hours childcare in IP2

In England, working families can get 15 hours of funded childcare a week from 9 months old, rising to 30 hours from September 2025, during term time (38 weeks a year). All 3–4-year-olds get at least 15 universal funded hours regardless of parents' work status, and some 2-year-olds qualify through additional support schemes.

Funded hours are used at participating nurseries and childminders — each profile on this page shows whether a setting has funded 2-year-old and 3–4-year-old places registered. Check eligibility and apply via GOV.UK childcare eligibility.
