Can We Still Use Our Free 15 Hours Till March 31st

Hello

I recently applied for a free 15 hours childcare code back in September , which as my son is born in September meant that it was active from January 1st.

Son started in January at nursery.

I attempted to reconfirm the code not long after but was denied (Wont go into details but I am appealing).

Does this mean that my son has no funding at all for January- March , or does it mean that the code will stop working in April.

The website is very confusing to be honest and I could not find a clear answer about this, thank you ahead of time!

It will depend on when the renewal date was. If it was 31st December or before which I assume it was due to when you applied for it you won't be covered.

The nursery will be able to tell you when your Grace period runs out, they can look it up in the portal. But if you applied I'm September then it would have expired in December which means doing it in January after he started was probably too late.

He wasn't eligible to start until January , we just had to apply in September for the January term.

Will check with the nursery about the grace period. Thanks

This isn't true so I suspect you aren't familiar with the nuances of the system.

Clearly which is why I am asking... I think ill go with what my nursery says though. Have a good night.
