Using your entitlements

My child turns 2 in February, but I ideally want them to start in September. Do I have to apply now or will I lose my access to the entitlements if I leave it until closer to September?

If you wish to start using the entitlements from 1 September rather than 1 April, then you can apply closer to that time; provided you still meet the eligibility criteria at that time, you will not lose your ability to apply.

Prev : Can you use the Tax-Free Childcare to pay for your remaining bill, after the 15 hours comes off? Next : Do you have any further information about the next stage of the rollout in September?
