Can a provider claim for a child's full entitlement even if the child is not attending for all of it?

Question:
Can a provider claim for a child's full entitlement even if the child is not attending for all of it?
Answer:

No, providers can only claim for funded hours that have been agreed the child will attend for at the provision*. Parents are under no obligation to take up the full entitlement and may choose to use some hours with another provider. Providers can only claim from the date a child starts at the setting and is eligible for funded hours.

* Providers must supply funded hours from the outset of claiming for the child. Providers cannot hold back funding and charge parents in the meantime to then reimburse them at a later date (i.e. end of the term).
