Free childcare
If your child is aged three or four and you live in England.
In this instance, you could be due 15 to 30 hours free childcare a week.
The childcare must be with an approved childcare provider, such as a registered childminder, nanny or home care worker.
It stops once your child starts reception at school, or reaches compulsory school age.
You can apply for the help on the government’s website online or through your local council.
If you don’t know who you local council is you can use the government’s locator tool found on its website.
It’s worth noting there are different schemes in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
