Every three months parents need to reconfirm their eligibility for 30 hours free childcare. This is to check they still meet the eligibility criteria and are therefore still entitled to receive the offer. Taxpayers\u2019 money should not be used to give parents free childcare if they do not qualify for it.<\/p>
<\/p>
Parents should receive a communication via text message and/or email, four weeks before their reconfirmation deadline and again two weeks before the deadline if they still have not reconfirmed. This communication will tell them that they have a secure message to read. This message will remind them to reconfirm and can be found in the \u2018secure messages\u2019 section of their childcare account. The Department for Education continues to disseminate key messages on 30 hours free childcare policy to parents through Local Authorities.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department for Education consulted extensively on the 30 hours free childcare policy. This included the provision that parents would have to reconfirm their eligibility for 30 hours free childcare every three months. The policy was debated by both Houses of Parliament during passage of the Childcare Bill in 2016. The policy was also subject to further scrutiny in both Houses when the Childcare (Early Years Provision Free of Charge) (Extended Entitlement) Regulations 2016 were debated.
