30 Hours of Childcare for Working Families

From September 2017 the Government set up a scheme so that working families will get 30 hours of childcare a week for each 3 and 4 year old child. To receive the 30 hours, families would have to meet the criteria below:

· Both parents in the household are working or the lone parent is working

· Each parent has weekly earnings that are equivalent to 16 hours at National Minimum Wage.

· Neither parent earns more than £100,000 a year.

How to Apply and check if you are eligible:

The following websites will give you all of the information that you need. https://www.gov.uk/30-hours-free-childcare https://www.gov.uk/apply-30-hours-free-childcare

Before applying online you’ll need your details (and your partner’s, if you have one), including your:

· National Insurance number

· Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR), if you’re self-employed

If you pay for childcare and want to use Tax-Free Childcare to get help with costs, you can also apply using this service.

It usually takes 20 minutes to apply. You may find out if you’re eligible straight away, but it can take up to 7 days.

If you have not used the service before, you need to set up an account, once you click the start now button the following information will be needed:

· your National Insurance number

· access to a mobile phone or landline

· details of one or more of the following - your UK Passport, tax credits, P60 or a recent payslip

· It will take about 5 minutes to set up.

You then click start now and the process guides you set by step what you need to do.

Once you have decided the number of hours you are eligible for and selected the days/times you would like, please complete the attached application form and return to school-  office@christchurchps.org.uk
