Free childcare for foster carers (England and Wales)
30 hours free childcare in England
The Government in England is extending 30 hours free childcare for three and four-year-olds to children in foster care. Read more about how and why we campaigned for foster carers to be able to access these hours. Foster carers who work outside of their fostering role will have access to 30 hours free childcare for three-and-four-year-olds from September 2018, giving them the same access to support as other working families.
