Hackney Council provides a local subsidy to further reduce the cost of childcare for some families, on top of the government-funded hours.

This additional financial assistance, which is not available to all families and is dependent on household income, can be accessed at the following locations:

To ensure we're helping those who need it most, this extra discount is based on your family's income.

Here’s how the local discount will work:

• If your family's household income is less than £55,000 per year: You will continue to get a discount (a subsidy) from the council on your fees.

• If your family's household income is over £55,000 per year: You will pay the full fee for any hours not covered by your government-funded entitlement (like the 30 free hours).

Everyone is still welcome at our centres, and all eligible working families can use their government-funded hours to reduce their bill, no matter what they earn.
