Childcare

9months - 2 years 15hours free childcare 2 years - 30hrs In order to get funding can she only start at the beginning of the new term (April 1st) she is 2 in June so will this automatically change or do I have to apply for 30hrs before the term begins? Or does she have to stay on 15hrs until the following term in September? If I wanted her to see this child minder from next month would I not get any help? I’d have to pay as I didn’t apply within the term date? If I wanted her to start asap she’s 18months so I’d have to go with the 85% option from uc is that correct?

If it’s anything like the 9 month one you can claim the hours the term after she turns two. So if she turns 2 on April 15th for example, you can claim the hours from Sept term

Funding starts the term after they reach the qualifying age so as she's 2 in June she gets the 30hr (if you're working) funding from September If you're already working you can apply for a code in early March to get the 15hrs from 1st April and that would go up to 30hr in Sept

Yeah I work part time! So if I wanted her to start asap. So like next month I wouldn’t be able to get it funded due to term dates? Or would I have the option of claim the 85% back

It's likely you've missed the deadline now for the funded hours this term but you can get the 15hrs from April but you'd need a code in mm early March to gey it from April

I can see I missed the deadline for the funded hours but don’t see any term dates connected to the 85% back from UC. So I’m thinking there’s not term dates connected to this one which means I’ll get 85% of the paid nursery /childminder fees

There's no term dates for UC help just funding x

Thank you!!! Xx
