Hello, Can you advise eligibility for free childcare hours in the case of maternity leave. For example, if I'm on maternity leave from September 2024 to September 2025, will I be qualified for 30hrs free childcare given that for the tax year April 2025-April2026 I would have only worked and earned for 7 months (this being below adjustable net income of £100,000)? In your earlier response to Louise, you mentioned that eligibility is forward looking for the next 3 months of expected income. How would this apply to the maternity leave use case? Thank you,
