Remember to renew your 30 hours or TFC codes
Christmas is a busy time for families but it is important to find five minutes to renew your 30 hours or Tax Free Childcare eligibility codes.
If you are a parent who is accessing the 30 hours funded childcare or Tax Free childcare then you must re-confirm your eligibility for the funding every three months. Failure to do so will mean you do not receive the funding for the following term and you risk being presented with a bill you were not expecting in the New Year.
Check your Childcare Service account today to see if you need to re-confirm before the festivities get into full swing and it risks getting forgotten.
