1. Summer term actuals - Online Provider Portal re-open
for checks (6-8 June)
Thank you for submitting your Free
Entitlement (FE) actuals, Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) and Disability
Access Fund (DAF) claims for Summer term.
The Online Provider Portal (OPP) is re-open for you to check
your claims are correct prior to payments. The deadline for this check is midnight Friday 8 June.
WARNING: If you need to correct any extended hours, please note
you will be required to carry out a “30 hours free childcare check” on the
code again. This could result in a change in eligibility status and/or key
validity dates which in turn may delay payments.
Please check the
following:
-
All children no longer claiming FE with you have been deleted. If not, request deletion
- No children with zero hours left on your headcount
- All eligible children who were in attendance during headcount week only (w/c 30 April) are present and correct, including their personal details. If they were not in attendance during headcount week – remove them from this headcount and submit a Post-Headcount/Exceptional Payment request
-
All children have the correct number of weeks and correct number of weekly universal and extended hours as attended during headcount week.
- All EYPP information is present and correct. Please note, DAF claims are still being processed, once DAF checks are complete payment will show as an adjustment. We can only make one DAF payment in a financial year and we must receive evidence child meets the eligibility criteria.
Payment is due for
release at any point during the
week commencing 25 June. Please note it may take 3-5 working days for the
payment to appear in your account.
If
you have any queries please contact the Family Information Service on 01243

2019).
For those settings looking to claim the Disability Access Fund (DAF)
this term, please remember that in addition to ticking “Yes” on the child’s
Actuals, you will need to submit the following evidence:
