You’ll not be entitled to it because you and your partner both work, you can only claim the sure start grant if you’re unemployed and claiming benefits.
You are however entitled to the health in pregnancy grant of £190, which you can claim after 25weeks of pregnancy, your midwife is the one who gives you the forms for this so you’ll need to ask her about it.
Heres also a website for the tokens you might be able to claim, you’ll need to check if you qualify first, it’s doubtful but you might be able too.
