If you wish to change setting part way through a term, you can do so. The funding will follow your child to their new provider. It is the responsibility of the provider your child is leaving to inform the local authority that you child has left/is leaving - otherwise they would be 'over-claiming'. The new provider can then claim from when your child starts with them as funding will always follow the child.
However, parents should also check the notice period as outlined in any contract signed with the childcare providers. Breaches of notice periods are a private matter between parent and providers and funded hours cannot be used cover any breaches.
Parents who change from a stretched offer ( in summer ) to a 38 week / term offer (in autumn) and are accessing the maximum entitlement, should be aware that their annual entitlement could end sooner than normal in the third term of the year. This is because of more funded hours are used in summer term as a stretched offer compared to a 38 week/ term time offer.
