From April 30th, free childcare rules are being expanded to include younger children
00:08
as part of a major childcare support shake-up in England, which is hoped to help millions
00:12
of working parents. Previously, free childcare for two-year-olds was only on offer if your
00:17
child has a disability or if you receive certain benefits. But now, 15 hours of free childcare
00:24
a week is available for eligible working parents of two-year-olds. Furthermore, from September,
00:29
the 15 hours of free childcare a week will be extended to all children from the age of
00:34
nine months. Then, from September 2025, eligible working parents with a child from nine months
00:39
old up to school age will be entitled to 30 hours of childcare a week. Eligibility of
00:44
parents is dictated by them earning less than £100,000 a year and earning a minimum of
00:49
a 16-hour working week wage. But a recent Watchdog report recently stated that only
00:54
a third of local authorities are confident that they will have enough childcare places
00:59
for September.
