 The actual headcount task will be available on the provider portal from Monday 22 June 2026. To avoid late submissions, please ensure your login details are working in advance. If you experience any password issues that need resolving, contact the Synergy Support Team at synergysupport@portsmouthcc.gov.uk.
The deadline for submission is Friday 3 July 2026.
All providers will need to complete the task to claim early education funding for eligible children who are registered to attend in the autumn term. Payments will be processed during the first week of September, based on the information submitted.
Before adding new children to your actual headcount task please review your current list and remove any children who have left your setting or are no longer claiming funding with you. Follow the 'Deleting a child record from the actual headcount' guidance on page 13 of the revised Synergy guidance document.
Please note:
- Parent declaration forms must be completed and signed before adding children to the headcount task. You may wish to include this form as part of your registration process.
You can still claim funding for children who start after the submission deadline by adding them to the adjustment period 1 headcount task, which will be issued in September 2026.
