30 free hours

[supernannyyyy]

Hello, I am in Wales and I've read that to be eligible for 30 free hours the child needs to be in school for a minimum of 10 hours, which would mean everyday for 2 hours a day. But someone I know is able to send their child for just 3 2hour days and then 2 full days in nursery alongside that and they get the free hours? Is that right?

From the site:
You could get up to 30 hours a week of early education and childcare.

The 30 hours is made up of a minimum of 10 hours of early education a week and a maximum of 20 hours a week of childcare.

The amount of childcare you get depends on how much early education your local authority offers.

Yes that's what I've just read ? @RedMarauder

Childminders, nurseries and others can provide early education (and should be registered as doing so) so the child doesn't have to be in school to receive early education.
