Currently all 3 & 4 year olds are entitled to up to 15 hours of free childcare and early education a week for up to 38 weeks a year. Children can access this entitlement in school, Nursery classes, private Day Nurseries, Pre-schools and with Childminders.

Registered childminders can look after up to six children up to the age of eight. Of these, a maximum of three can be under-fives, who are classed as ‘young children’* and a single childminder can only have one child under one year old. This ratio includes the childminder’s own children if they are under age eight.
