Funded 2-year-old childcare if you receive additional forms of support

15 hours of funded childcare per week, based on a 38-week term-time offer, is available for 2-year-olds if:

• you claim some benefits

Or your 2-year-old:

• has an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP)
• is in receipt of Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
• is in care (looked after by a local authority)
• is leaving care or has left care under an:
  • adoption order
  • special guardianship order
  • child arrangements order

Or you are a non-UK citizen who cannot claim benefits, lives in England, and your household income is no more than:

• £26,500 if you have one child
• £30,600 if you have two or more children
• have less than £16,000 in savings or investments

You don’t have to use all of the 15 hours, you can take up as many as you like.

If you're eligible, you can take up this offer from the term after your child's second birthday.
