Where this situation occurs, we have introduced a grace period which will enable parents to retain their childcare place for a short period if they have become ineligible for 30 hours. This is in order to avoid disruption for the child, enable parents to make alternative arrangements as a result of a loss of eligibility and allow providers and local authorities greater certainty when managing their childcare places.</p><p> </p><p>Further information about the grace period can be found here:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/30-hours-free-childcare-la-and-early-years-provider-guide" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/30-hours-free-childcare-la-and-early-years-provider-guide</a>.</p><p><strong><br> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 19/12/2017 17:37:13 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
