Additional 15 hours 

From September 2017, Nurseries started offering an additional 15 hours (equalling 30 hours in total) if both parents are working (or the sole parent is working in a lone parent family), and each parent meets the earning criteria listed overleaf. To receive the additional 15 hours, parents will need to fill in the government portal through HMRC website.

For families with 3 and 4-year-old children. You need to earn at least £142 a week. If you're earning less than £142 a week but are under 25, or you're an apprentice, you may still be eligible. The cap on earnings is £100,000
