💰 Funding Guide

Government Childcare Funding

HPDN accepts all government-funded childcare entitlements. Here's what's available and how to apply.

🍼

9-Month+ Entitlement

Working parents of children from 9 months+ may qualify for up to 30 funded hours per week. Check eligibility at beststartinlife.gov.uk

👶

15 Hours (Age 2–4)

Families on a low income or in receipt of benefits can receive 15 free hours from age 2 (application required). All 3 and 4 year olds are entitled to 15 hours of free funded places.

🎓

30 Hours (9 months–4 years)

Working parents may qualify for 30 free hours per week. You must each earn the equivalent of 16 hrs/week at minimum wage and under £100,000/year.
