Childcare free hours

My daughter will be 2 in June and I think she would be eligible for the new 30 free childcare hours if both parents are working. Partner works full time 60k. How much do I need to work to qualify as working? I haven't gone back to work yet and I can't find an answer

I think its 16+ hours

Think it’s like 16 hours so equivalent of £180 a week. Might not be that exactly though! Gov website should say this info.

If you put your details into this government website it’ll tell you what you’re eligible for and from when x https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=PPC&utm_campaign=Childcare_Choices_24_25&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvLO9i6yMiwMVhppQBh3X1SO2EAAYASAAEgKTyPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

£183 a week.

The 30hrs is from Sept if you are working it’s the term after their 2nd birthday but up until Sept she will get 15hrs free. It’s term time only so if you want to do all year round it’s less hours. You have to earn over £183 per week to qualify. If you don’t have a job when you apply you won’t get it
