  • working will include employed and self-employed persons

  • one parent is employed and one parent has substantial caring responsibilities based on specific benefits received for caring or one parent is employed and one parent is disabled or incapacitated based on receipt of specific benefits.

Please note that the 30 hours free childcare does not include the 1 hour lunchtime care, and there will be a charge of £3.50 per day to cover staffing costs.  There is also the option to purchase a school lunch at a cost of £2.70 per day.
