For families receiving some additional forms of government support
This scheme is for parents who meet any of the following criteria:
- are getting certain benefits and if working, the household income is less than £15,400 per year
- have children with disabilities
- have no recourse to public funds
- are the guardian or parent of children looked after
If you do not meet these criteria and both parents in the household are working, you could still get free hours if you meet certain criteria.

Islington Council free early learning for 2 year olds
We are very happy at the centre to help with the process of applying so please come and see us if you have any questions or need help with the forms.
If your child is eligible, you can start claiming free early education from the beginning of the term after your child turns two.
Free childcare for working parents
Free early learning and childcare hours are available for children from the age of 9 months for working parents. Find out how to apply.
What you can get
How many free early learning and childcare hours you could get depends on the age of your child from now until September 2025 as the amount available for eligible working parents is changing.
Free hours are available:
- from the start of the term after your child turns the relevant age by 31 March, 31 August, or 31 December.
- for 38 weeks a year but some providers will allow you to ‘stretch’ the hours over more weeks, meaning you'll use fewer hours each week
Children from 9 months
- From September 2024: 9 months to 2-year-olds can get 15 hours a week free (570 hours a year).
- From September 2025: from 9 months until children start school, you can get 30 hours a week free (1,140 hours a year).
2-year-olds
- From April 2024: 2-year-olds can get 15 hours a week free (570 hours a year).
More information on how to apply for free childcare can be found on the Islington Council website.
