Official information on entitlements and childcare (GOV.UK)

GOV.UK provides official, up‑to‑date information on free statutory entitlements such as 15–30 hours’ free childcare for eligible parents, free school meals for low‑income pupils, state pension forecasts and other public services. Eligibility rules (for example income, child age, and working hours) are explained on the site and you can apply or be directed to your local council or government service via the GOV.UK webpages. The site is the central access point for forms, guidance and links to local authorities.
