Parents need to apply now for 30 hours free childcare for Summer term.

If parents wish to take up a 30 hour place at your setting next term they need to apply and be approved by HMRC by 31st March 2020. They can find out more and apply via the Childcare Choices website.

If parents are already using 30 hours, they’ll need to confirm that their details are up to date every 3 months to continue accessing a place. They can do this through their childcare account.

If parents fail to be approved / reconfirm eligibility by 31st March, funding will not be available for a place in the 2020 Summer term. All applications completed / approved after the 31st March would not be able to take up the additional FEL hours until 1st September 2020.
