SCITT - Childcare funding

Hi All, I wondered if anyone out there has some information on SCITT and childcare.

I was looking at the SCITT programme starting September this year and I’d planned to apply for the childcare grant. Unfortunately, I hadn’t realised the household earning threshold that now means I don’t qualify for the childcare grant. I have thought about waiting until next year as once my daughter turns 3 I was going to apply for the 30 hours free, however, would I qualify for that as a full time student? I attended a SCITT information morning and another girl applying said that we do get 30 hours free but I don’t see how

Any help appreciated
