Remember, to pay instalments you must log in to the Early Years and Childcare Training and Development Centre here and return your direct debit form to us by 31 July 2019. If you wish to pay in full, please purchase on the Early Years and Childcare Training and Development Centre after 31 July 2019 and you will be invoiced the following month for the full amount.
Congratulations to the children of Little Sunbeams Pre-School. They have entered the Reading Zone Picture Book Competition and the book the children created about their visit to Marwell Zoo has been shortlisted. The children have received a certificate and letter from the judges!
 We still are aware that issues have arisen where Universal Credit applicants have found it difficult to prove their childcare costs due to invoices not containing the required information.
In order to avoid parents being affected and missing out on Universal Credit payments (and potentially being unable to pay for childcare on time) please check that your invoices contain the following information:
- Setting/Provider name
- Ofsted number
- Address
- Name of child invoice relates to
- Dates the invoice refers to
- Number of hours funded and those incurring a fee
- Total cost to parent
If you can email invoices to parents this will help them when they upload them to the Universal Credit system and avoid them needing to scan/photograph paper documents.
When parents upload their evidence, they also have to submit proof of payment for each invoice. So please ensure that your business bank account name relates to your business name as shown on your invoices. If you take cash payments, please provide clear receipts to show the money received and the invoice it relates to. Some applicants' evidence has been rejected as they cannot clearly show who a payment was made to on their bank statement or that they paid in cash.
The forecast task will be available on the provider portal from today. In order to avoid late submissions please make sure that your current log in details are working, contact us at eyfunding@portsmouthcc.gov.uk if you have password issues that need resolving. The deadline for submission is 5th July 2019
All providers will need to complete the task to claim early education funding for their two, three and four year olds who are registered to attend in the Autumn term. Payment will be made to providers in the first week of September based on the information you submit to us.
Please remember:
- Parents must have completed and signed the parent declaration forms before you add children to the forecast task. You may want to consider issuing this form to parents as part of your registration process?
You can still claim funding for children who start after the submission date by adding them to the headcount actual task which will be issued in September 2019.
