Working parents across England can now apply for up to 30 hours of government-funded childcare starting from September 2025 — a move expected to save families up to £7,500 per child annually.

Key Dates and Eligibility

From today, parents with children who will be at least 9 months old by 1 September can apply for the extended childcare support. This expansion follows the successful rollout of 15 free hours last year, which has already benefitted over 499,000 children.
