We calculate the service’s advance payment based on:
- the number of days the service will be open
- the calculated funded child hours for each day during a selected week for
- Under 2s
- 2 and Overs not receiving 20 Hours ECE
- 20 Hours ECE
- Plus 10 ECE hours and
- the date the service will begin offering 20 Hours ECE.
We make an advance payment to the service on the next available major payment date.
The advance payment is washed-up against actual funded child hours on the next RS7 return and 20 Hours ECE funding becomes part of the normal funding cycle.
Ceasing 20 hours ECE#
Services that decide to stop offering 20 Hours ECE funding should email the ECE Resourcing team to discuss how to adjust their future funding.
