Parent/carer declaration
I confirm that my child _____________________________________________is attending the early years
provider(s) for the free hours detailed above.
I understand how the free early education hours will be delivered for my child. If my child is receiving a
stretched offer and reverts to the term time offer, the number of free hours available each week may be
affected.
I will make every effort to ensure my child attends the free hours claimed for. I am aware that to continue
receiving 30 hours free childcare, that I need to recheck my voucher code every 3 months as a minimum
(by the end of each funding period to ensure it remains valid for the following period).
