How to claim Sure Start 15 Hours

[BoojaBooja]

My DS will be starting nursery at a school in September and I'm planning on using the free 15 hours care. The school participates in the scheme. Do I need to apply for this though, or is it more likely that the school will deal with that side of things?

Thanks.

School will deal with it usually - or in those local authorities where the process differs they will help you to do it.

Great, thanks 5ofus. I've told the school that I'd like the fifteen hours, so hopefully they'll organise the necessary. I can't afford the school's fees, so I hope they've taken note!

The allocated 15 hours is claimable a term after your child 3rd birthday the setting will apply through the Local Authority by processing paper work initially submitted to the parent / carer is a Contract between all the parties involved
