Parents in England can be eligible for free child care for children from 9 months to 4 years, depending on factors such as work state, income and immigration status.
The number of free hours available varies according to the child's age and the circumstances of the parents.
Child's age -based eligibility
The amount of free child care that a father can receive depends on the age of his children.
Children between 9 months and 2 years old can receive up to 15 hours per week, while children aged 3 to 4 can receive up to 30 hours per week.
Children must live with the applicant to qualify. Breeding caregivers can apply if they are in paid work outside the promotion and have a net income below £ 100,000.
However, they must apply through their local authority and social worker instead of the standard online process.

Eligibility for working parents
Parents can generally access free child care if they (and their partner, if applicable) are employed, self -employed or directors of a company.
They also qualify whether they are on illness, annual license or parental license, including motherhood, paternity, adoption or shared parental license.
Parents about to start a new job can also apply, but their start date determines when they can start receiving free child care.
Child care hours begin in specific school terms based on when a father begins or returns to work.
Parents who are not currently working can still qualify if their partner is working and receive one of the following benefits: disability benefit, serious disability assignment, caregiver assignment, limited capacity for job benefit or employment assignment and support -based support.
Income requirements
During the next three months, parents (and their partners, if applicable) must expect to win at least £ 2,380 before the tax if they are over 21 years (£ 183 per week), £ 1,788 before taxes from 18 to 20 years (£ 137 per week), or £ 1,331 before taxes on 18 or learning (£ 102 per week).
Parents on their own that do not meet this threshold in the next three months can use their expected average profits for the fiscal year.
If they started their business in the last 12 months, they can qualify with lower profits.
Parents who earn more than £ 100,000 per year (individually) are not eligible. Certain income types, such as dividends, rental income and pensions, do not count for the minimum profit requirement.
Immigration status
To qualify, parents must have a national insurance number and meet one of the following conditions: be a British or Irish citizen, establish or establish status (or have requested and are waiting for a decision), or have permission to access public funds, which will be indicated in their residence card in the United Kingdom.
How to apply
Parents can verify their eligibility and apply through the official United Kingdom Government website. Breeding caregivers must apply through their local authority and social worker.
