Which council handles funded hours for Leytonstone families?
Leytonstone is in Waltham Forest, so two-year-old support is applied for through that council. The GOV.UK code route for working parents is national and works the same way everywhere, and three- and four-year-old places are arranged with the nursery. If your home is just over the borough border, your own council's pages apply instead, so check which one that is.
