This is a reminder that parents who wish to begin claiming 30 hours funding from January 2019 must receive their code by 31st December 2018 at the very latest. HMRC recommend parents begin their application by the end of November to allow time for the claim to be processed.

In order for extended hours funding to continue in the Spring Term 2019, it is very important that you need to log in to your childcare account with HMRC and re-confirm your details as soon as pos- sible.

Codes that have a grace period end date of 31st December 2018 must be re-validated by that date, at the very latest, for extended hours to be paid in the spring term. HMRC recommend that par- ents do this by the end of November to ensure the process is completed on time.

After re-confirming your details and if found to still be eligible the end date will be extended.
