15 hours free for 3-4 year olds

[rapunzel15]

Cant find any info at all really so I thought the best place to ask will be mumsnet.

My DD is turning 3 next month so will be entitled to 15 hours free childcare from after Christmas. She currently attends a nursery 2 mornings a week which we pay for.
My question is do I need to do anything to get her 15 hours free? Apply for it or fill out a form or anything? All I can find is info about 30 hours free and 15 hours free for 2 year olds (neither of which we are entitled too)

Is she staying put or going to a different nursery. DC1 is in private nursery and the nursery gave us the forms for the funding.

My DD is starting playgroup in September for 15hrs free p/wk, all I had to do was fill out a details form they gave me and take in her birth certificate so they could take a photocopy

Shes staying put. Shes so happy there

They should do it for you, you will have to sign something to agree to them claiming the funding. Do they definitely offer funded places? Not all settings do. I would just ask them.
