To register eligibility for a 30hr Nursery Place parents must register on-line at
https://www.gov.uk/apply-30-hours-free-childcare
Only a valid eligibility code will guarantee the funding of the additional 15hrs under this entitlement and it is the parent(s)/carer(s) responsibility to provide this. The school will not hold a place for a child whose parent/carer is still ‘applying’ or ‘re-applying’ or has lost their eligibility code.
Grace period
A child who comes ineligible during the first half of a term should be funded until the end of that term or for as long as they remain under Compulsory School Age, whichever is shorter.
A child who becomes ineligible during the second half of a term should be funded until the end of the following term or for as long as they remain under Compulsory School Age, whichever is shorter.
When the grace period or code lapses the place will revert to a universal 15 hour place. If the place is filled by the time the code is refreshed/renewed a further 30hr place can be refused. The financial sustainability of the school is essential and therefore we reserve the right to fill any vacant spaces.
Parents will be prompted every 3 months to reconfirm the details they entered are still correct.
They will be prompted by HMRC by email or text 4 weeks before, then again 2 weeks before.
