Am I correct?
My lo will start nursery at the beginning of March. However, I will return to work last week of March. My understanding is he is eligible for 15 funded hours from 1st of April, and the earliest I can apply for a code is a month prior. Am I correct?

@Carys and I'm guessing i need to ask my nursery when the term starts at theirs? Why are the dates so different? Why is it not from the 1st of the month? 🤔
You can apply from January and then you will get the hours from the next term, April 1st.
You could apply now though as they are eligible from 9 months so could use the hours from the term before aswell?
@Cheryl I'm returning to work end of March.. Therefore, this applies to my situation
Oh that's frustrating that it won't cover anything before 1st April even if they start before then.

Yes, well the term starting after 1st April which (at least for our nursery) is 14th April, though for the school I work at is 7th. I'm not sure how it works with year round rather than term time only nurseries though.
