Do we have to apply for the 15 hours free childcare from age 3?
As anyone is entitled to this regardless of income. I cant see any way to apply on the gov website so assuming no but wanting to check?

Yeah you still need to apply & give childcare provider the code so they can claim the funding
You’ll need to check your childcare accepts it. Ours won’t from 3 as the funding per child reduces too much. So our childcare will go back up 😔
Ok thanks for this. Yes they do accept it, still costs a fortune though. How annoying for you!
Ahh glad yours does! ☺️
