Time for twos

[sands25]

Hi everyone

DD is due to start nursery next week and I was approved for time for twos a couple months ago due to being a single parent on benefits, however my partner moved in a week ago and he works and earns more than the amount specified to be eligible for time for twos. I’m going to phone the nursery and ask tomorrow how this will impact her eligibility

so my question is really does anyone have any experience? Will this mean eligibility will be withdrawn even though she has already been granted time for twos? I know working families can get 15 hours from April anyway, so I’m just curious as to whether her start will be pushed back until April now or whether she can still start next week?

I’ve just realised also do both parents need to be in work to be eligible for the working families free time for twos?

I’ve not heard of the phrase time for twos, but has your child already turned 2? If it was before December 31st then you’ll be funded from January if they haven’t as yet or have done since 1st January then it would be from April.

if by time for 2s is the ‘old’ pre April 24 2 year funding then you’ll have this until the term after your child turns 3 which is when they will move onto 3 year funding, which if entitled to 30hours due to being a working family then you will need to reconfirm eligibility every 3 months
