15 hours of funded childcare for three and four-year-olds for all
All 3 and 4 year olds in England can get up to 570 funded hours per year from the term after your child turns 3 years old through to starting school, irrespective of income levels, benefit status, or family circumstances. This is usually taken as 15 hours a week for 38 weeks of the year (term time). You can choose to take fewer hours over more weeks, if your childcare provider offers this option.
