Can providers charge for additional hours outside of funded hours?

Question:
Can providers charge for additional hours outside of funded hours?
Answer:

Early years providers can charge parents for additional hours that children access over and above the funded entitlement, or for the hours that a provider does not offer as funded hours.

However, it must not be mandatory for parents to purchase additional hours just to gain access to their funded entitlement.

Providers are reminded they have the discretion on what days/ hours funding is offered but should listen to the needs of parents where it is reasonably practicable and that it must be made clear from the outset to parents what days/ hours are provided as funded and which are not (if applicable).
