Childcare support is expanding in 2024

Government funding for childcare is expanding this year, starting with the introduction of 15 funded hours for working parents of 2 year olds from 1 April 2024. We are still waiting for the full details but it is expected that parents will need to meet the same criteria as the current 30 funded hours for 3 and 4 year olds. Current information about the expansion of childcare funding is available on the Childcare Choices website – keep checking there for more information.

And don’t forget that you can use any of your funded hours at Lady Bay Pre-school, now and after 1 April 2024.
