The Upcoming
Funding Expansion
Starting from April 2024, existing childcare support will be expanded in phases. By September 2025, most working families with children under the age of 5 will be entitled to 30 hours of childcare support.
​
The changes are being introduced gradually to make sure that providers can meet the needs of more families. This means that:
From April 2024
Working parents of 2-year-olds will be able to access 15 hours childcare support.
From September 2024
15 hours childcare support will be extended to working parents of children from the age of 9 months to 3-year-olds.
From September 2025
Working parents of children under the age of 5 will be entitled to 30 hours of childcare a week.
