Universal hours. We will pay this to you automatically (unless you are a childminder or a new setting) by the end of the first week of the funded period. It will be approximately 60% of what you were paid for the same term last year. For example, your estimate payment for the Autumn funded period 2020 will be approximately 60% of what you were paid for the Autumn funded period 2019. If numbers last year were significantly higher or lower than the funded period for which you’re claiming (which would mean an incorrect payment) then you should request an estimate claim form to enable us to make a more accurate payment. This can be requested from xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx.xx If you are a new setting you will need to contact the Funded Early Education Team for an Estimate Claim Form, as we will have no history on which to base the payment. If you are a childminder or claiming FEET funding, you will always need to fill in an Estimate Claim Form if you would like an estimate payment. This is because the number of hours you claim tends to vary significantly. The forms are available to download at xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx.xx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Please make sure that you use the form for the correct funded period.
Universal hours. We will pay this to you automatically (unless you are a childminder or a new setting) by the end of the first full week of the funded period. It will be approximately 60% of what you were paid for the same term last year. For example, your estimate payment for the Autumn funded period 2021 will be approximately 60% of what you were paid for the Autumn funded period 2020 based on the portal headcount totals (not the COVID additional payment). If numbers last year were significantly higher or lower than the funded period for which you’re claiming (which would mean an incorrect payment) then you should complete an estimate claim form to enable us to make a more accurate payment.
