Working Parents To Get Increase In Entitlement

From September 2017 the government will increase the free entitlement to 30 hours per week for eligible working families.

The new entitlement is intended to support working parents with the cost of childcare and enable them, where they wish, to return to work or work additional hours.

Over 1500 working families across Hull will be eligible for the new entitlement with places available in schools, nurseries, pre-schools, out of school clubs and childminders.

Children will become eligible from the term following their third birthday until they reach compulsory school age. Parents must be working and each earning at least £120 a week, but no more than £100,000 a year.

For your child to start in September 2017 you need to apply before the 31 August 2017 at www.childcarechoices.gov.uk
