If your child turns 9 months before 31st August 2024 you may be eligible for 9-23 month funding from September 2024. If your child has their second birthday before 31st August 2024 you may be eligible for 2-year funding from September 2024. If your child has their third birthday before 31st August 2024 you will be eligible for universal 3-4 year funding and you may be eligible for additional working parents funding (more commonly known as 30 hours) from September 2024. For more information about the upcoming changes please see HERE
To find out if you are eligible for working parents funding please see HERE. The government stipulate that children cannot claim funding immediately from when they turn 9 months, or their 2nd or 3rd birthday, but they can claim from the term after they turn 9 months or the term after their birthday. You must obtain or renew your code in the term before they are eligible for funding designed for working parents from the government website HERE
If you require funding when you return to work from maternity leave the date you start or return to work will affect when you can apply for free childcare. To be eligible from September 2024 you must be returning to work before 30th September 2024. There is more information and an explanation of all the admission dates in the year on the government website HERE
