Can you explain how the Early years funded hour entitlement works?
The funded entitlement is for 38 weeks a year. For children aged 9 months and over claiming 15 hours a week, this is 570 hours per year. Children aged 9 months - 3 years old, will need to meet the criteria to be entitled to the funding. For 3 and 4 year olds, funding is universal and can be for 15 hours a week (570 hours per year), or if you meet the criteria, you can claim 30 hours per week, which is 1140 hours per year. You will invoiced for anything over your funded entitlement on a monthly basis. You will need to sign a parent declaration form to confirm your entitlement to funded hours. You can check your funded entitlement through the government website as follows-
