Government funding reconfirmation

Hi all, struggling to find the answer to this. My son finished nursery last month - I always earned under the £100k net income threshold so always confirmed this via the reconfirmation statement every 3 months. Im going to be starting a new job in January which will take me over the £100k net income for this tax year (26-27). Will the government look to recoup the funding and free hours I received between April 26 and August 26 even though at that time I was below the threshold?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Maybe stating the obvious but don’t tell them that you expect to be over the threshold until you actually have started the new role. Anything could happen between now and January…! I think I read somewhere that you can sometimes get a quarter’s “grace period” as you roll off the funding.
