Applying for an eligibility code for children aged 9 months to 3 years (expanded and extended hours funding)
Applying for an eligibility code:
You must check your eligibility and apply for your unique code in line with the deadlines below. If you are approved, your code will start from the beginning of the next term.
The deadline is the day before each new term begins, but we encourage you to apply earlier, and recommend applying at least six weeks before the deadline. If you do not apply before the deadline, you will not be able to access your child’s funding entitlement until the start of the next term
Some childcare providers may ask for your code before the deadline, so we recommend you speak to them to find out if this is the case.
