Eligibility
Your child must usually live with you.
Check the eligibility criteria for free childcare if you're working on GOV.UK.
Foster carers
If you foster your child, you can claim free childcare if:
- you’re in paid work outside your fostering role
- your ‘adjusted net income’ is under £100,000
- accessing the free hours is consistent with the child’s care plan
