IMPORTANT REMINDER: To support the LA in their statutory duty to return the Early Years Census all Providers MUST complete the 'My Details' section prior to submitting the headcount claim.
All providers must complete adjustment task 1 if there are any changes to their previously submitted actual headcount claim, which may include children starting or leaving the setting or an increase/decrease in funded hours.
