Worth knowing. Parents who wish their children to receive the free entitlement grant funding, must complete a funding form without which funding will be refused. Your code must be updated with the HMRC every three months. Funding can be transferred to another setting after 4-weeks’ notice. We offer FE throughout the day between the hours of 8am-6pm Monday to Friday. The FE funding covers the cost of the provision of childcare and the delivery of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £9.50 an hour still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
