I am sure my eldest daughter was entitled to these 15 hours paid for care the term after she turned 3. My youngest daughter will be 3 in two years time, so I will be interested to see what the government do then!

Yes, what Caroline says, they only time its different is for some families of lower income but thats down to your local council and whether they are on the 2yr old scheme, best giving your local Family Information Service a call to check

Yeah, you will be entitled to 15 hours paid for care, in the term after your child turns 3.  I do think that the government has plans to change this to 2 years, but i'm not sure when this will happen, and they may change their minds again!!
