<p>The national rollout of 30 hours free childcare marks the delivery of a manifesto
commitment that will help hundreds of thousands of hard working families. The childcare
service online application has been working well for the vast majority of parents
and over 216,384 valid 30 hours codes have been generated by successful applications,
reaching our target for 1st September. As of 6th September, 152,829 eligibility codes
for 30 hours free childcare have been validated. These are eligibility codes that
were issued by 31st August and validated by 5th September for children aged three
by 31st August 2017.</p><p> </p><p>It is the responsibility of local authorities to
assess supply and demand of free entitlement places at a local level.</p>
