Your child and funded hours
Do you (and your partner, if you have one) both work, and each expect to earn at least £2,643.68 in the next 3 months?
What counts?
16 hours a week at the minimum wage for your age: £2,643.68 if you're 21 or over, £2,256.80 if you're 18 to 20, and £1,664.00 if you're under 18 or an apprentice. If you've been self-employed for under 12 months, or you're on parental, sick or annual leave, you can still qualify, and some benefits (such as Carer's Allowance) count for a partner who doesn't work. Check on GOV.UK
No funded hours yet.
If you both work, you could get 30 hours a week (1,140 a year).
From 1 January 2029: 15 hours a week (570 a year).
Funded hours start the term after your child reaches the age (9 months for working-parent hours, 2 for the extra-support offer, 3 for the universal 15 hours): on 1 January, 1 April or 1 September. You'll need to reconfirm your details every 3 months.

This is an estimate, not a quote. Nurseries set their own prices, opening weeks and funded-hours patterns, and not all offer funded or stretched places. Check with the nursery. England only.
How we work this out
570 hours a year is 15 hours × 38 weeks; 1,140 is 30 × 38. Term-time funding covers 38 weeks; in every other week your child attends you pay the full fee. Stretched funding spreads the same hours over more weeks (up to 52), so the yearly total is about the same. Funded hours are capped at the hours you use, 30 a week and 10-hour sessions. The monthly figure is the yearly cost ÷ 12.
Funded hours are for education and care and must be free. Nurseries can't charge top-up fees for funded hours, or make you pay for extra hours, registration fees or deposits as a condition of your place. They can offer meals, snacks, nappies and trips as optional extras, and you can choose to bring your own or opt out.
Hours may be pro-rated if your child starts part-way through the year, and funding stops when your child starts reception. Tax-Free Childcare is 20% of what you pay after funding, up to £2,000 a year (£4,000 if your child is disabled). Prices are Toddle averages or the price you enter; meals are a Toddle estimate.
Figures from GOV.UK, checked 20 October 2026. Rates change each April. England only: Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have different schemes. Sources: working parents, 3 and 4 year olds, 2 year olds, Tax-Free Childcare, Universal Credit, DfE guidance.

Helpful answers
Nursery questions in Manchester
Which postcodes cover nurseries in Manchester?
Manchester nurseries are spread across numerous M postcode districts, including M1 to M4, M8, M9, M11 to M16, M18 to M23 and M40. Some M postcodes also extend into neighbouring council areas, so the full address is useful when comparing locations.
Is Salford included in Manchester?
No. Manchester and Salford are separate city council areas, despite forming one continuous urban area. Childcare within Manchester is administered by Manchester City Council, while Salford has its own local authority.
How much funded childcare can Manchester families receive?
All 3 and 4 year olds can receive 15 funded hours a week. Eligible working parents can receive up to 30 funded hours a week from 9 months old until school age, normally across 38 weeks of the year.
When should I apply for working parent funded hours?
You can apply once your child is 23 weeks old. To start funding in September, January or April, applications should be completed by 31 August, 31 December or 31 March respectively. Eligibility must then be reconfirmed every 3 months.
Can Manchester nurseries choose when funded hours are available?
Yes. Individual providers may offer funded childcare only on certain days, sessions or times, so 30 funded hours does not necessarily mean every nursery offers the same weekly pattern. Opening times and session arrangements are worth comparing alongside availability.
Are school nurseries common in Manchester?
Yes. School nursery classes form an important part of Manchester's early years provision. In summer 2025, 62% of children using the 3 and 4 year old entitlement attended a school nursery class, compared with 38% using private, voluntary or independent provision.
What can I still be charged for with funded childcare?
Funding covers the childcare hours, but providers may charge separately for things such as meals, snacks, nappies, sun cream, trips or additional childcare hours. These costs should be considered when comparing the overall price of a nursery place.
Is extra early years funding available for some children?
Yes. Eligible children may attract additional funding such as Early Years Pupil Premium to support learning and development or Disability Access Fund to help a setting make reasonable adjustments and improve inclusion. These payments go to the childcare provider rather than adding extra funded hours for the parent.
What support is available if my child has SEND in Manchester?
Manchester's SEND provision covers children and young people from birth to age 25, including support during the early years. Nurseries can also access additional inclusion support where a child's needs require provision beyond what the setting would normally provide.
