Free childcare hours help!

So little one has been in funded nursery hours since September. I have just reconfirmed the childcare hours, my deadline was 7th March. My husband has changed jobs so had a decrease in income. His payslip will come out tomorrow but without this taking into consideration, we won’t qualify for the funding. Would this be taken into consideration? If not, will I have to start a new claim and when would this then start the funding from? Super stressed!
thank you

Sorry I’m not sure I understand, did you qualify before as you’ve reconfirmed your hours, and now you won’t qualify, or did you not qualify before and now you will?

Yes we qualified before. I sent the reconfirmation off tonight but I forgot he doesn’t get paid until tomorrow so I don’t know whether that pay will be taken into consideration

It's not universal credit, it doesn't matter when your payday is.

Yes it’ll be fine, there’s no payslip deadlines.
