If you are applying for the new funded childcare for working parents of children aged from 9 months to 2 years old visit GOV.UK - Apply for free childcare if you're working.
You can use our Citizen Portal to check eligibility and apply for free childcare for 2 year olds if you receive some additional forms of government support, or if your child is a child in care or need, has an EHCP or receives Disability Living Allowance.
