Government funded sessions - from when?

My son turned 3 on March 29th which I believe is before the cut off point for the government funded 12.5hrs for 3 year olds. His nursery has said he wont get that funding till the next text starts but I thought as he turned 3 before the cut off point he would get it straight away. Do I get a letter from the government stating when his free sessions will start and will this be backdated to his birthday?
Thanks

i think it is the start of the first term following his 3rd birthday. so he would probably start this term. though some nursaries only have two intakes a year.

They are entitled to it from the first school term after their third birthday. IE, he's lucky his will be due from the summer term (ie after Easter break) I know an early January birthday 3 year old and they have just got it now. your childminder/nursery/pre-school should give you the relevant forms to fill and and return to them and then they process them and claim the money.
