To be eligible your child needs to meet the age criteria and income criteria to get the funded hours. If you are already claiming Tax Free Childcare for an older child or your current child then you will automatically qualify for the funded hours as its the same income eligibility criteria. If you aren’t using Tax Free Childcare currently then you can apply for both - this saves you an additional 20% (up to £2000 a year) off any remaining nursery fees above your funded hours.

If you are on Universal Credit, childcare vouchers or salary sacrifice you may still be able claim the funded hours but you wont be able to use Tax Free Childcare.

The income criteria simply put- you must earn at least the equivalent of 16 hours a week at minimum wage each. And no more than £100k a year (adjusted net income) each.
Full criteria- https://www.gov.uk/check-eligible-free-childcare-if-youre-working
Adjusted net income- https://www.gov.uk/guidance/adjusted-net-income
If you met the criteria before maternity leave then you will still meet the criteria while on maternity leave.
