<p>To be eligible for the working parent entitlement, which includes the current 30
hours offer, parents will need to earn the equivalent of 16 hours a week at National
Minimum Wage, which is £183 per week or £9,518 per year in 2024/25, and less than
£100,000 adjusted net income per year. A parent on carer’s leave, or in receipt of
certain benefits, may be eligible provided their partner is working and meets the
eligibility criteria. Currently, there are no plans to change the eligibility criteria.</p><p>
</p><p>All 3 and 4 year olds are eligible for the universal 15 hour free entitlement,
regardless of their parents’ circumstances. This is available the term after a child
turns three and is available for 38 weeks a year. Further information on the entitlement
can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/help-with-childcare-costs" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/help-with-childcare-costs</a>.</p>
