The highest allocation of £130,699 has gone to Kingston and Richmond, followed by Leeds with £105,000, and Suffolk County Council with £101,406.
The new fund totalling £7,301,950 is being made available to support delivery of places for the 2018 summer term, as more children become eligible.
In addition, 42 local authorities have received a share of up to £10,000 each from a total pot of £398,350 for small-scale capital funding projects in 2017-18.
Funding has been made available for building, or refurbishment to create more 30 hours places - for example dismantling walls or adding extra toilets.
Launching the bidding process for the 30 hours delivery support fund last November, the Government said it was aware of the pressure that the first year of rollout of the 30 hours would put on some local authorities and providers and recognised that demand will rise throughout the academic year as more children turn three, and parental awareness of the 30 hours increases.
