What should parents expect to see in their invoices?
Providers must ensure invoices and receipts are be itemised and should cover a breakdown by unit and costs:
- the funded hours received in the funding period
- additional private paid hours
- food charges
- non-food consumables charges
- activities / extra services
This so parents can clearly identify they are receiving their child’s funded hours as initially agreed with the provider.
The provider must inform parents of the monetary value of funded hours at their provision. Funded hours should not be shown as a value of £0
