Funded early education and childcare is expanding. If you work and your child is aged 9 months to 4 years, you may be eligible for up to 30 hours of funded early education and childcare a week, from September 2025.
If your child is already accessing the 15-hour working parent entitlement, reconfirm your code as normal and your entitlement will increase to 30 hours from September.
If you are newly eligible, you will need to apply for a code through childcarechoices.gov.uk
Take a look at Surrey County Council’s parent declaration form guidance at surreycc.gov.uk/parentdeclaration to understand what information you Early Years setting will need to claim your entitlement for your child.
