On top of the government hours, Hackney Council offers its own local discount to make fees even lower, but this is only available at the following locations:
Children & Family Hubs
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.
What should I do next?
The best first step is to check what government funding you are eligible for. You can do this easily on the Best Start for Life website.
