Reminder for parents claiming 30 hours childcare in the spring term 2024:

All parents who are working, have a 3 or 4 year old and want to claim funded extended early years education hours (30 hours funding), must make sure they have applied to HMRC. This must be done in advance and before 31 December 2023 for funding to start from 1 January 2024.

All parents with a 30 hours funding code need to make sure their details are up to date. They must do this every three months: sign into your childcare account.
