I’m so confused

About the childcare funding. When does it become eligible for children from 9 months old? When do we need to apply? What do I do? Baby will be going to nursery in either November this year or January next year. Can anyone explain?

Apply online: https://www.gov.uk/apply-free-childcare-if-youre-working If in nursery from November, you’ll pay full fees. You’ll get 15h (if eligible) from Jan

So if your child is 9 month's after the 1st of September they will be eligible for funding from 1st jan as it is the term after they turn 9 month's. So if they started in Nov you wouldn't be able to claim funding for them but you will from Jan x

@Zoe nope my baby turns 9 months on the 2nd of September Bledy crazy missed it by a day xx

It’s also the term after you return to work apparently and apparently you can only apply 30 days before returning to work but not 100% on the latter

@Rebecca it's frustrating isn't it

@Zoe soo Bledy much couldn’t believe it
