How do these work if a parent needs to claim?

Any advice gratefully received.

Not sure what you mean? From your point of view you just charge how you would normally charge anyone else there is nothing you have to do except provide your reg no. which you should not reveal until contracts are signed!

I have had instances of people making claims using my Ofsted number and I have never even minded them!!! It is really very easy to find out someone's URN:

A prospective parent contacts you with an enquiry
A visit is arranged and they get your postcode to punch into their sat-nav
Visit takes place and they get to know a bit about you and your household
They then go onto Oftsed website and input the postcode - they won't have to look at many reports until they can identify you and your URN!

No secrets in this world!
