Will your child be 3 years old by 31 March?

If you work full or part time, you could get up to 30 hours free childcare after the Easter holidays.

You'll need to apply to get an eligibility code to give to your childcare provider to start claiming.

Apply before the 31 March 2019 to get your code.

Missing the deadline will mean you can't claim until September!
