9 month funding scheme

Does anyone know if you have to have returned to work from maternity leave to be entitled to the 30 hours a week funding scheme? I’ve put my baby in to start nursery in December because I wanted him to settle in before I start back at work in January but now I’m worried I’ll have to pay the full amount.
