30 Hours
Our 30 hours free childcare provision runs from 9am to 3pm, Monday to Friday.
Children would need to bring a packed lunch as school dinner is not provided.
Each child will also receive a piece of fruit for snack and some milk during the day.
Eligibility and Application
You may be able to get 30 hours free childcare if:
- you live in England
- your child is 3 to 4 years old
You can apply online for a childcare account to get a code for 30 hours to give to school.
Your eligibility depends on:
- if you are working
- your income (and your partner’s income, if you have one)
- your child’s age and circumstances

You can get 30 hours free childcare at the same time as claiming Universal Credit, tax credits, childcare vouchers or Tax-Free Childcare.
