Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs (HMRC) administers the Childcare Choices website and helpline for 30 hours and tax-free childcare registration. Visit the Childcare Choices website for 30 hours and tax-free childcare registration.
Without a 30 hours code, parents will not be able to receive funding for the additional entitlement.
Parents of children already on the scheme are reminded they must reconfirm their eligibility every three months from the date of receiving their code. If they don’t do this, they will automatically be put into their “grace period” (the duration of the following half term) before losing their funding.
Please note: you cannot access your funding in your Grace Period for the first time if you have not used your code before, please ensure your code is always updated regularly.
Should you require any further information, please email childcarefunding@telford.gov.uk or telephone 01952 385385.
Watch the DfE video on how to apply for 30 hours childcare and tax-free childcare.
