The form must be completed by the child’s parent or legal guardian.

You need to complete the form after your child’s first funded session. You can do it earlier if you like.

You’ll need to sign and date the form for each funded period:

• Autumn (1 September to 31 December) – Sign from 1 July
• Spring (1 January to 31 March) – Sign from 1 December
• Summer (1 April to 31 August) – Sign from 1 March

You can use the same form all year - just sign and date each funded period.

• Use your child’s full legal name (no nicknames). Your provider will match this to your ID documents.
• Read the terms and conditions before you sign
• Only claim the hours your child is entitled to (15 or 30 hours)
• Tell your provider if your child goes to another setting, even if it's in a different area

Your child may qualify for extra help if they:

• Are adopted or in care
• Have a disability
• You receive certain benefits

Ask your provider if you're not sure. They will ask for your consent to check if your child qualifies for extra funding through:

• Early Years Pupil Premium
• Disability Access Fund

This is funding for your provider. It helps them fund extra support, staff training and learning experiences for your child.

On the declaration form give:

• the eligibility code you got when you applied to HM Customs and Revenue (HMRC)
• your National Insurance number

If your child qualifies for both hours for working families and 2 year old funding (FEET):

• Use FEET funding first (FEET funding lasts until the term after your child turns 3 - even if your work situation changes)
• Then use the hours for working families for the additional 15 hours (from September 2025)
