Nursery free hours - maternity leave

[Givemethesun]

Hello. We currently get the 15 free child care hours as both earn under 100k but I will hopefully be going on Mat leave later this month. I assume Mat leave won’t impact our ability to get this?! Or shared parental if we decide

For the older child yes you're fine but the baby you're on mat leave for won't be entitled until you go back to work and the term after they turn 9 months.

Ah ok! Thank you!
