Following discussions with the DfE regarding parents who won’t receive their reconfirmation codes until March, there will be a temporary fix to the problem.
Some parents who reconfirmed their Tax-Free Childcare account in November or December will not receive their code for their two-year-old place until too late to reserve a place.
The DfE will send a letter and temporary manual code to all those parents who will be receiving their digital code after February 15 so they can use this to access a place at their local provider.
NDNA hopes this will address some of the challenges parents are facing, but we are still pushing for local authorities to let nurseries know their funding rate as soon as possible.
