EARLY YEARS FUNDING

Please only complete this form if you have been asked to by Aspire Day Nursery Ltd - All funded children

 

It is you responsibility to inform us with if you are entitled to funded hours before the term starts. Please enter all the information correctly and enter your funding code. Failure to apply for funding, will result in full fee payments. The nursery is not responsible (or able to change) for any missed claim/ code periods. 

Please ensure you monitor your emails from the gov account, as every term you will need to re-confirm your funding code. Failure to do so means you will fall into the ‘grace period’ potentially missing all funding claims.

Fees are calculated on the amount of hours we are open (how many days a week child attends over 51 weeks a year) with yearly funded hours taken away to give total chargeable hours.

Parent Authorisation Form Early Education Entitlements Autumn 2025 - Summer 2026

This form collects information from parents/carers to assess and process Early Education Entitlement (EEE) hours, eligibility for Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) and eligibility for Disability Access Fund (DAF). It is mandatory to complete a parent authorisation form for each setting your child attends for their EEE and thereafter complete a new form where there are changes to any details previously submitted.

This form must be completed, signed and returned to your childcare provider to confirm your entitlement access. If you wish to transfer your entitlement to a different childcare provider you must give four weeks’ written notice to your existing provider. Your child will not be able to access their early education entitlement at a new provider until the week following the end of the four week notice period. A false declaration may result in your early education entitlement being withdrawn.
