Before you continue

You are now using a new service for people living in England to check what childcare support they may be eligible for.

This is not an application for childcare support and your answers will not be shared.

What you will need

You will need information about you and your partner, if you live with one, to answer questions about:

  • children, including any you are expecting
  • work and income
  • nationality
  • benefits you get

Check if this service applies to you

This service will not give accurate results if:

  • you do not live in England
  • your child is in local authority or foster care
  • your child does not live with you more than half of the time

If you need more help understanding childcare support

If you cannot use this service, or need more help understanding what childcare support may be available, you can contact your local council .
