All you will need to do is complete an application form, which is available from your health visitor, local children’s centre, childcare provider, primary school or library. When we receive your application we will carry out an eligibility check for you. By simply providing your name, date of birth, and national insurance number, we will be able to tell you if you are eligible to apply for a place. When this information has been received and checked, if you are eligible, we will issue a funding approval letter which you can then take to the childcare provider of your choice and make arrangements for your child to start if they have a place available.
