Funded hours and maternity leave

[Dueindecemberr]

Help please! Ds is due to start pre school in Sept when he gets 30 funded hours. He will go 3 days a week.

I am due to go on mat leave in late November- will he still be eligible for 30 hours whilst I am on full salary/ will it drop to the universal 15 hours as soon as I go on mat leave? I think the 15 hours will cover 2.5 days so we would need to cover the lunch hour and 0.5 days (a huge saving on the current nursery cost, so not complaining, just trying to understand it all).

Funded hours apply as normal if you are on mat leave with a different child.

Make sure you apply for your code before the deadline, I think it's end of August

Thank you!
