Working parents can get a funded childcare space for 30 hours a week for their children. Both the parent and any partner must each expect to earn at least £167 per week (or the equivalent of 16 hours at the National Minimum or Living Wage). Parents can check eligibility and apply for free childcare. Once approved, they will receive a code to give to their childcare provider.
2-Year-Old Economical Entitlement
Parents may be eligible for a funded 30-hour place for their 2-year-old if they receive certain government financial support and their household income is £15,400 a year or less after tax. Check the eligibility criteria for free early education and childcare for 2-year-olds. Applications can be submitted through the Southend Citizen's Portal to confirm eligibility and obtain an approved application number.

All families in England with 3- and 4-year-old children can get up to 15 hours of free childcare or early education per week. This entitlement is available to all families, regardless of income or working status, and is designed to support children's early learning and development.
