How has 30 hours has changed Erik & Florentina's life?
The 30 hours case study video from the Department for Education (DfE) raises awareness on the benefits that using 30 hours childcare can have for working families. In the video below, Florentina from Brent shares her story of how #30hours has allowed her to increase her work hours while her son Erik, who has special educational needs, received speech and language therapy through his nursery.
