Pricing/Funding
- From September 2025, two-year-old children of eligible working parents can get funded entitlement hours (FEEE2W). This is for 30 hours per week for 38 weeks if the parents meet the eligibility criteria.
- Some two-year-olds can get funded hours if their parents are on certain benefits, meet economic criteria or the child meets certain non-economic criteria (FEEE2). This is for 15 hours per week for 38 weeks if the parents meet the eligibility criteria.
- All three- and four-year-olds can get funded entitlement hours from the term after they turn three up until they go to school; this is called the universal funded entitlement (FEEE3&4). This is for 15 hours per week for 38 weeks.
- Three- and four-year-olds of eligible working parents can get the extended funded entitlement (EFE), which is another 15 hours in addition to the universal 15 funded hours; this is often called the “30-hour offer”. This means children can have up to 30 hours a week for 38 weeks.
