Hi

I was wondering if I could get some advice about childcare I have a 3 year old and both myself and my partner receive benefits universal Credit and limited capability for work and work related activity for my partner as he has health problems I care for my partner every day and I suffer with my mental health I wanted to apply for a nursery or playgroup just so he could mix with other children Im just trying to see if you get 15 hours free childcare or is it for working parents only as Ive done some research on the web but am getting mixed information and I'm getting confused thanks for any help in advance

    Hi @user31

    All 3 year olds in England are able to have 15 hours of childcare in England, it doesn't matter what the family circumstances 😊 Here is some information on how to apply for 15 hours childcare that I hope will be helpful!
