Early Learning for 2-year-olds

Help with paid childcare
Support beyond funded hours.
Tax-Free Childcare
For eligible families, the government adds £2 for every £8 you pay into your childcare account, up to £500 every three months per child, or £1,000 for a disabled child. It can be used alongside funded hours to help pay for additional childcare.
Explore Tax-Free Childcare →Universal Credit childcare support
If you are eligible, Universal Credit can cover up to 85% of approved childcare costs, subject to monthly limits. You cannot receive Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as Universal Credit.

Your funding questions.
When should I apply for working-parent funding?
Apply before the deadline for the term you want to start: 31 March, 31 August or 31 December. Leave time for your application to be checked and share your eligibility code with the nursery before your funded place begins. Check when to apply on GOV.UK.
Do I need to renew my eligibility code?
For working-parent funding, reconfirm your details in your childcare account every three months, even if nothing has changed. Manage your funding on GOV.UK.
Can I combine the 15-hour and 30-hour offers?
The 30-hour working-parent entitlement includes the universal 15 hours for 3 and 4-year-olds; it does not give 45 hours in total.
What should I send to Kimmy’s?
Start with your child’s age, preferred attendance days and start date. If you have a funding code, tell us you have one and we’ll explain how to provide the details needed to check it.
