HMRC has been issuing parents with eligibility codes for 1 September for children who are not yet three.
Nurseries have told Nursery World that they have been left to explain to parents who have registered with them why their child is not yet eligible for the 30-hour entitlement. As with the universal 15 hours, children are only able to use their 30 hours from the start of the term following their third birthday.
In addition, the 30 hours is only available to working parents who have met the criteria and have given the eligibility code to their childcare provider.
