Parents only have today to claim extra free childcare hours
WORKING parents in Oxfordshire have one last day to claim 30 hours of free childcare.
The Government’s new childcare policy is set to come into force, and today marks the last day families can claim their hours.
From tomorrow, the number of free childcare hours for working parents will double from 15 hours per week to 30, provided they meet requirements and their child is three or four-years-old.
Parents can apply for the additional hours on a website called Childcare Choices, and will receive a code to provide to participating nurseries, playgroups or childminders.
