Frequently Asked Questions(Early education for three and four year olds)
Who gets the money?The funding will be paid directly to the setting your child attends. What do I need to do?If your child already has a place in a setting, you will need to check with the leader of the setting that they are on the Directory of Providers. If they are, they will ask you to sign a declaration form. The setting will then claim funding for your child, and adjust your fees accordingly. Each term has a "Head Count Day" and your child must be attending the setting by then for them to claim the funding and offer your child the entitlement. If you miss that date they may not be able to offer the entitlement until the following term. Do they have to do 5 sessions?The funding is for up to 5 sessions per week. You may prefer your child to have fewer sessions or the setting may not be able to provide 5 sessions for your child. You do not have to use 5 sessions. What happens if my child leaves?If your child leaves before "Head Count Day" the setting will not be entitled to any funding. If your child leaves after this day the funding will only be paid for the weeks spent at that setting. Should you start another setting straight away, then your new setting will be able to claim the remainder of your entitlement. What if the setting asks for extra money?Some settings charge additional fees for extra services. They must make clear to you what these are and what they are for. If your child attends a setting where fees are higher than the funding you will be liable for the additional costs. If you are receiving help with your childcare costs through the Working Tax Credit you will need to inform them when you start to claim the Nursery Education Funding. Back to Paying for Childcare
