Funded childcare in Medway

All 3 and 4-year-old children can access up to 15 hours of childcare support.

Eligible working parents and carers of children aged 2-year-old can access 15 hours of childcare support.

Some parents of 2-year-old children may also be entitled to 15 hours childcare support, if they receive some additional forms of government support.

Eligible working families of 3 and 4-year-old children can also get an additional 15 hours of childcare support, bringing the total support they can get to 30 hours a week.

From September 2024, 15 hours of childcare will be extended to eligible working parents of children from the age of 9 months.

You can use these hours over 38 weeks or you may spread the hours over more weeks by using fewer hours per week. Check with your childcare provider to find out if this is something they offer.
