Official guidance, applications and entitlement info on GOV.UK

GOV.UK is the UK government's single website for citizens to find free, authoritative information and to access public services: apply for free childcare hours (15–30 hours where eligible), check free school‑meal entitlement, get state pension forecasts, signpost to benefits and official forms. Services and eligibility rules vary by scheme and by nation; most pages tell you who qualifies and how to apply. Access the guidance and online application services at the homepage and follow the links for the specific service you need.
