Funded childcare for two-year-olds
What if I'm a non-EEA citizen who cannot claim benefits?
If you're a non-UK citizen who cannot claim benefits and your immigration status says you have 'no recourse to public funds', you may still get free childcare for your 2-year-old. You must live in England and your household income after tax must be no more than:
- £26,500 for families outside of London with one child
- £34,500 for families within London with one child
- £30,600 for families outside of London with two or more children
- £38,600 for families within London with two or more children
You cannot have more than £16,000 in savings or investments.
