Government funded hours nursery

We got ours from April - what makes you think you didn’t get yours? Did you apply for them?

Thanks that's helpful! We applied and I thought we had been getting them but then the money out of our tax free childcare account hadn't reduced

Did you give the code to your nursery? Basically you give the code to the nursery, they issue a new bill less the funded hours and you then pay the rest through tax free account? Your tax free account doesn’t automatically update with the free hours if that makes sense

While you’re at it update your nursery about finding for 30 hours from September!

I don't understand how only now you are realising your bill didn't decrease, we spread ours to 11hrs a week so we only paid £8.50 one day a week and had 1hr knocked off another day, so we saved £200 a month. Definitely give the code to nursery again ASAP as our nursery had a cut off date of the 16th Also did you have your payment from your taxfree childcare set as a regular payment and not change it?

Thanks @Amy that must have been what happened!!!
