Yep the cut off is August 31st, it takes less than 10 mins to complete on the gov website & you should get your code straight away
Just apply. It's one month from the end of maternity leave.
My little boy isn't planning to start nursery until April 2025 (financial reasons) so do I still need to apply by Aug or can I apply 3 months before April?
@Becky I think the 31st August deadline is for the September term. You will need to apply later for April. I'm not sure when.
The cut off is 31st August so you still have time but I would get on it soon
