Once registered, eligible parents will receive a 12-digit eligibility code which you'll need to pass on to us to show that you are eligible for the 30 hours of childcare.

You should only have to check once before your child starts at Tringham Pre-school. Although we are responsible for recording the code, the local authority will be responsible for checking to make sure that you are still entitled to funding twice each term. They will tell us if a parent is no longer eligible for the extra hours, and when the grace period ends and funding will stop for the additional hours. These children will then only get the universal 15 hours of free entitlement.
All or part of the 30 hours can be claimed at Tringham Pre-school
