I would contact the nursery you're sending her to - I've found the nursery managers/admin are the best at explaining how it all works 😅
I would contact the nursery as they may just have you fill out a funding form in advance. I do know from ours that you can't change your booking pattern mid term because it's applied for the full term.
You’d have to wait till jan. You’d probably be better off sending your little one in September for the 30 hours so you’ve got the space for her at the nursery you’d like her to go to. Then you wouldn’t have to wait till jan. xx
I think it would depend if the nursery would allow you to reserve a spot for the September term but not use it until November. Based on your return to work date, you should be eligible for the September term, I'm returning mid September so that I can have my little boy start that term too.
It’ll be the Jan, I think they have to apply the codes at the start of a term, so as she’s starting midway through in November they won’t be able to apply the codes at until the January term. Even though she is eligible.
I believe you have to wait until the start of the new term
