Do you receive free childcare hours when your child is of the eligible age or do you wait until the next term time after eligible age? Thanks

Next term of eligible age x

@Jessica Unsure whether I'll be doing nursery or childminder yet- does it apply even if the childcare provider takes new ones outside of term time? Thank you xx

You can start them whenever you like but you'd have to pay full price until funded hours come in for you.

The term after x

Depends on the nursery, if the nursery is associated with a school then you have to wait until the next term to get the funding. If they aren’t associated with a school you can do it whenever and ours stretches the funding across 50 weeks as well to help with budgeting.
