From April working parents of 2 year olds will get 15 hours (it's 30 for 3 year olds). This extends to 9month olds from sept and they gradually increase both up to 30 hours the following year.

The funding is for the term after their birthday with cut off dates of the 1st of January, April and September. In the 3 year funding all children get 15 hours. Additional funding is based on hours worked and income with a few exceptions. Details of 2 year criteria have not been finalised
