No later than 31 March 2024
To receive a working parent funded childcare place from 1 April 2024, it is necessary to obtain a valid HMRC code for your 2-, 3- or 4- year-old by 31 March 2024.
To apply for a code, families must open a HMRC account or sign in to their existing one.
To keep your funded childcare if you are working or you use Tax-Free Childcare, you MUST REMEMBER to re-confirm your code and/or confirm your details are up to date every 90 days.
More information about funded childcare is available at Childcare Choices
IMPORTANT: Failure to re-confirm your code by the deadline means your funded place is at risk.
As soon as possible if you have childcare fees to pay
Sign up for Tax Free Childcare or Universal Credit for Childcare
To find out more, visit the Childcare Choices webpage and remember to check that your childcare provider accepts this method of payment.
