Childcare tax credit no eligibility code

[Anniessong]

I applied for the childcare tax credit but haven’t received the eligibility code (we do meet the criteria) I expected it to be instantaneous- has anyone had to wait a while for their code? How long could we be waiting for? And when we do get the code and can pay in our 80% how long is it before the government top up arrives? Fees are due on the 7th April so am worried we won’t get the top up in time

Usually I find it's topped up as soon as the cash appears in the account. So same day if im lucky or next working day.

With bank holiday on 7th you might get lucky gey away with them being paid on 11th as the provider will need your code.

The top up happens within 24 hours. I usually put the 80% in one day and pay it out the next. Can't remember about the code, it was a long time ago I set up our accounts!
