What is the new childcare scheme? And is there 30 free childcare hours for one and two year olds? Here's what the Chancellor of Exchequer said in the new budget.
Parents will be receiving extra childcare support via universal credits and free hours.The chancellor has promised to help reduce the cost of childcare as one of the main themes in today's budget. So what did he say?It's already been confirmed the government will be making changes to families who claim universal credit when it comes to their childcare costs.
As it stands, all children aged three and four in the UK can claim up to 30 free hours of childcare a week but this will allow parents to return to work as soon as maternity of paternity leave ends. The Chancellor said: "I've also heard many concerns about cost pressures facing the sector," he says.
