Before children start school, you can get help towards their childcare. This could include:

• free childcare places for children aged 3 and 4
• extra free childcare if you are working and your child is aged 3 and 4
• free childcare if your child is aged 2 and you are on a very low income

You may also be able to get money off your childcare bills if you are working or are on Universal Credit.
