Watch Laura's video ahead of the first phase of the Government's childcare expansion here.
From April, eligible working parents of 2-year-olds can receive 15 hours of free childcare a week.
You’ll get a code for the free hours to give to your childcare provider and you need to claim your code before 31 March:
