Childcare Grant and funded free hours

My childcare grant is about to run out. When I've stopped using it, can I apply for government free funded childcare as I meet the working criteria?

Hi there, just to check, are you referring to the 30 hours free childcare?

Thanks, Graeme

Hi,
I mean the 15 hours for two year olds which I believe is the same system as 30 hours for older children.
Thanks,

Hi there,

Yes, the 30 or 15 hours free by the government is fine.

Thanks,

Will it be okay if they slightly overlap or can you only use one followed by the other?

Many thanks

The free hours aren't taken into account by us so this will be fine.

Thanks,
