I have a 3yo whose birthday was in Jan so put in for him to claim fudning FROM April .. I have received a payment in Jan.. how do I work out when not to charge them and why do they pay u so much before the month u need it grr its so difficult to balance and spread the cost. He also goes to pre school in Sep and is claiming from there then do I need to tell the funding people?

I'm messaging you! you need to talk to the funding people at county.

Is there someone local you can speak to to show you how it needs doing?

Each LA works differently, so you need to find out exactly how yours works.
