Leave Application to Principal by Teacher (15+ Samples)

When a school teacher needs a leave, he/she should get permission from the principal. The best way to write a leave application is to keep it short, formal, and professional without grammatical and spelling mistakes.

Leave Application to Principal Format

As a student in India, submitting a well-crafted leave application to your school’s principal is crucial when you need to take time off from school. To make a lasting impression, it is essential to follow a proper format. Here are the essential components that must be included in a leave application format:

Components of a Proper Application

• Date and Contact Information:  Start the application by mentioning the date on which you are writing the letter and provide your contact information, including your name, school name, class, and roll number.
• Addressee Details:  Below the contact information, include the details of the principal or the authority that you are approaching. This should include their name, official designation, name of the school, address, and other relevant details, if any.
• Reason for Leave:  The most crucial part of the application is the reason for the leave. It would be best to be precise, give the dates for which you will be absent and express gratitude for being given the opportunity to apply for leave at such a time.
• Mention Supporting Documents:  In some situations, it may be necessary to attach supporting documents. The supporting documents should explain and support the reason for leave.
• Contact Details for Follow-up:  Include your contact information so that the principal can contact you if they need further information.

Structuring the Application

The format of a leave application is equally important to its content. Structuring it helps make it easier to read and ensures that all essential elements are included. Here’s how you can structure a proper leave application:

1. Formal Greeting:  Start your application with a formal greeting. Begin with “Respected Sir/Madam” if you don’t know the name of your principal.

2. First Paragraph:  In the first paragraph of your letter, mention your name, class, and division, as well as the reason for writing the application. Additionally, note the dates you need to take leave.

3. Second Paragraph:  The second paragraph should focus on providing further details about the reason for leave. It should be precise and to the point. Try and provide any additional information that could be useful for your principal to understand the situation.

4. Third Paragraph:  This is where you may include any supporting documents or attachments that explain why you require leave.

5. Final Paragraph:  Conclude the application with a formal closing note. Express gratitude and share how you plan to catch up on missed classes. This creates a positive impression and increases the chances of your application being accepted.

By following the essential components of a proper leave application format and structuring your application clearly, you will be able to submit an effective leave application to your school’s principal.

What information should be provided in a leave application to the principal?

In a leave application to the principal, details like start and end dates of the leave, reason for leave, and if required, additional documents, or information should be furnished.

Is it necessary to mention a reason for taking leave in a Leave Application to Principal?

Yes, it is necessary to mention the reason for taking leave in a leave application to the principal. This information helps the principal to understand the situation and grant leave accordingly.

Can a student take leave without a parent’s signature in the Leave Application to Principal?

No, the Leave Application to Principal must be signed by a parent or a guardian of the student. The signature is essential as it confirms that the parent or guardian is aware of the student’s absence and is responsible for the same.

Can a student apply for leave after returning from the leave period?

No, it is recommended to apply for leave before the leave period begins. However, if the student is unwell or faces any unforeseen circumstances, they can apply for leave upon their return and provide a valid reason for the delay.

Leave Letter to Principal

A Leave Letter to a Principal is a formal document sent to the principal of a school where the writer requests a leave of absence. Both teachers and students occasionally need to request a leave of absence. The best way to request a leave is in a formal professional letter. This documents your request, protecting you from problems about attendance that could occur without the formal documentation.

Schools have attendance policies for both teachers and students. Check the school’s policy to determine if there are other forms you need to complete to request a leave. If there are necessary forms or other documentation, you can enclose them with your leave of absence letter.

What to Include in a Leave Letter to Principal

Your letter needs to contain specific information about the leave you are requesting. Here is what to include:

• Your name and contact information (and the child’s name if a student needs a leave of absence)
• Reason for the requested leave of absence
• The dates of the leave
• Enclosures such as necessary forms and documentation

If you cannot anticipate the leave of absence, formally document the request as soon as possible. In some cases, such as illness and accidents, your request letter should be written when you can. Include documentation of the illness or accident.

How to Write a Leave Letter

A letter requesting a leave of absence is a professional document that offers you and the principal at your school verification that you requested the leave. It should be written in a formal format containing only the necessary info. Here are the three parts of a letter written to request a leave of absence.

• Introduction : Use the first paragraph of your letter to the state you are requesting a leave of absence and offer the reason for the leave. State your request for a leave clearly. Provide the dates you will be gone and your return date.
• Body : Use this paragraph to provide contact information during your absence. If you have enclosed any documentation, note that here.
• Conclusion : Use the last paragraph or sentence to thank the principal for his assistance with the leave.

Purpose of the Leave Application by Teacher

Every leave application starts with a reason. Whether it’s a sick leave application for teachers or a leave letter for going out of station, the reason should be clear and concise. Additionally, if the leave is due to fever, a family function, or even for attending a brother/sister’s wedding, it’s crucial to mention it upfront.

Duration Matters

Is it a one day leave application for school teacher to principal or a longer period? Clearly state the number of days you’ll be absent. If it’s a half day leave application, specify which part of the day you’ll be missing – morning or afternoon.

Addressing Past Absences

If you were unable to inform the school about your absence beforehand, consider writing a yesterday leave application for school teacher to principal. It’s a courteous way to explain a past unplanned absence.

Emergency Leaves

Emergencies are unpredictable. Whether it’s an unforeseen family crisis or a medical emergency, the leave application should convey the urgency without being overly dramatic. Terms like “urgent work” or “medical emergency” can be used to convey the immediacy.

Special Cases

Some situations, like maternity or paternity, require a longer period of leave. In such cases, the teacher’s maternity or paternity leave application to principal should include the expected duration and any plans for handling their responsibilities during the absence.

Crafting the Perfect Letter

Always address the leave letter to the principal formally and maintain a respectful tone throughout. The leave application in school should be professional, clear, and devoid of jargon. Ensure you mention any steps taken to manage your classroom duties in your absence, reassuring the principal that student learning won’t be disrupted.

To apply for leave from school, you will typically need to submit a written request to your principal or other school administrator.

This request should include the dates of the leave, the reason for the leave, and any other relevant information, such as whether you will be able to complete your assignments while you are away. In some cases, you may also need to provide documentation, such as a doctor's note, to support your request for leave.

It is generally a good idea to apply for leave as far in advance as possible, to allow the school time to make any necessary arrangements. The specific timing will depend on the policies of your school and the reason for the leave. For example, if you are requesting leave due to a medical emergency, you may need to apply on shorter notice.

The decision to approve or deny a request for leave is ultimately up to the school administration.

Factors that may be considered include the length of the leave, the reason for the leave, and the potential impact on the student's academic progress.

In some cases, the school may require the student to make up missed work or may have other requirements in order to grant the leave.

If your request for leave is denied, you may have the option to appeal the decision. The process for appealing a decision will vary depending on the policies of your school and the reason for the denial. It may be helpful to speak with a school administrator or guidance counselor to discuss your options.

It is generally acceptable to request leave for the purpose of traveling or vacationing, as long as the request is made in advance and the dates of the leave do not conflict with important school events or exams. However, the school may have specific policies in place regarding the timing and length of such leaves, and may require the student to make up missed work upon their return.

Taking a leave of absence may affect your academic standing or eligibility for extracurricular activities, depending on the length of the leave and the school's policies. It is important to discuss any potential impacts with the school administration before making a request for leave, and to follow any specific requirements for making up missed work or staying current with coursework.

In some cases, the school may require documentation to support a request for leave.

This could include a doctor's note if the leave is due to illness, or other documentation such as a letter from an employer or a court order if the leave is related to a personal or family emergency.

It is important to provide any requested documentation in a timely manner, as this can help to support your request and ensure that it is processed smoothly.

In some cases, it may be possible to request a leave of absence for the purpose of taking online classes or pursuing other educational opportunities.

The school may have specific policies in place regarding the timing and length of such leaves, and may require the student to make up missed work or meet other requirements upon their return.

It is important to discuss the request with the school administration in advance, and to provide any necessary documentation to support the request.

If you need to extend your leave of absence after it has already been approved, it is important to communicate the situation to the school as soon as possible.

The school may be able to grant an extension, but may also have specific requirements in place for making up missed work or staying current with coursework.

It is important to follow any specific procedures for requesting an extension and to provide any necessary documentation to support the request.

• Sick Leave: The duration of sick leave varies based on the severity of the employee’s condition, ranging from a few days to several months, ensuring employees can focus on their recovery without work-related stress.
• Casual Leave: Employees typically receive 1 to 3 casual leaves per month, offering short breaks for personal or unexpected needs, and promoting work-life balance.

Reasons Why People Apply For Leave Application

When submitting a leave application, providing a clear and valid reason is necessary. Various circumstances necessitate taking a leave of absence, such as:

• Bereavement: Leave may be required due to the passing of a family member, friend, or even a beloved pet. Compassionate leave allows individuals time to cope with their loss and support their families during difficult times.
• Health Concerns and Medical Procedures: Illness or scheduled surgeries often require employees or students to take a break. Medical leave ensures individuals have the necessary time to recover and regain their health.
• Rest and Recreation (R&R): Everyone needs a break to recharge. Whether it’s for mental rejuvenation or simply enjoying leisure time, individuals may apply for leave to relax and unwind.
• Life Milestones: Significant life events such as marriages, birthdays, or other anniversaries are valid reasons for taking time off. These occasions are essential for personal well-being and are often celebrated with family and friends.
• Travel: Exploring new places, be it for leisure or work-related purposes, may require taking leave. Travel enriches experiences, broadens perspectives, and allows individuals to embrace diverse cultures.

Incorporating the reason for leave in the application ensures transparency and understanding between the applicant and the authorities.

What is Casual Leave?

Casual leave is a form of time off granted to employees, allowing them to address unforeseen personal circumstances or urgent needs. The nature of casual leave can vary, providing immediate flexibility for short-term absences without affecting the overall leave balance.

What is CL & PL?

Casual Leave (CL) and Privilege Leave (PL) are two distinct types of leaves offered by companies. Casual Leave is typically granted for unforeseen or sudden events, allowing employees to take short-term time off with pay. On the other hand, Privilege Leave, also known as Earned Leave (EL), is accrued over time and is generally used for planned absences, providing employees with paid time off based on their service duration.

Can I take 5 days casual leave?

The duration of casual leave may vary based on company policies. Generally, casual leave is permitted for a minimum of half a day to a maximum of three days. If you require a leave duration exceeding this limit, it may be advisable to utilize other types of leave, such as earned leave or as per the specific policies outlined by your company.

What is the difference between EL and CL leave?

The primary distinction between Earned Leave (EL) and Casual Leave (CL) lies in their nature and purpose. EL, or Privilege Leave, is earned over time and is often planned for vacations or extended breaks. In contrast, CL is intended for unplanned events or sudden situations, offering short-term leave with pay. EL is usually accrued, while CL is often a fixed annual allocation.

How many days casual leave in a year?

The number of casual leave days allocated in a year can vary among companies and is subject to their specific leave policies. While some companies provide a standard allocation of three days of paid casual leave annually, others may offer a more extended duration. It is essential to refer to your company's leave policy or consult with the human resources department to determine the exact number of casual leave days available to you each year.

Is Casual Leave Paid?

Casual leave may be paid or unpaid, contingent upon the specific policies outlined by the company. Employees are advised to consult their employment contracts or refer to the company's leave policy for clarity on whether casual leave is compensated. The total duration of casual leave is typically stipulated in the company's leave rules provision.

How Many Casual Leaves in a Year?

The number of casual leave days allotted in a year is determined by the company's rules and the terms outlined in the employment agreement. To ascertain the specific allowance, employees are encouraged to review their employment contracts or seek clarification from the HR department. While the generic duration of casual leave may range from a day to three or more, it is essential to recognize that the number of casual leaves in a year is subject to company policies and may vary.

What Are the Benefits of Having Casual Leave in the Workplace?

• Flexibility : Immediate time off for personal needs without impacting overall leave balance.
• Work-Life Balance : Fosters a healthier work-life balance, enhancing job satisfaction.
• Attraction and Retention : Contributes to an appealing work environment, strengthening employee ties to the organization and promoting robust retention.
• Boost Productivity : Facilitates prompt resolution of personal matters, minimizing work disruptions and boosting overall productivity.
• Compliance with Labor Standards : Aligns with legal requirements, ensuring adherence to labor standards and promoting a fair working environment.

Is bereavement paid or unpaid leave?

The provision of paid or unpaid bereavement leave depends on the specific policies outlined by the company. Since it's not universally mandatory, companies may integrate bereavement leave into existing frameworks like sick leave, vacation leave, or Family and Medical Leave (FMLA). The nature of compensation during bereavement leave varies across organizations.

What is the verification process for the bereavement process?

While many companies do not necessitate proof of death for bereavement leave, they often implement a verification process to ensure the leave is genuinely required. This may involve details such as the deceased person's name, date of death, and their relationship with the employee. Some companies may also request supporting documents like obituaries or funeral programs for verification.

Is a Bereavement Leave mandatory?

Offering bereavement leave is not compulsory for all companies, and its inclusion in leave policies depends on local regulations. In regions where mandatory, companies are obligated to incorporate bereavement leave into their policy. Otherwise, its inclusion is at the discretion of the employer.

What is the difference between Bereavement Leave and Sick Day?

While a company might not explicitly have a separate policy for bereavement leave, it can offer alternatives like compassionate leave or incorporate it into sick leave policies. The categorization of bereavement leave as a sick day depends on the company's specific policies and how they structure their leave frameworks.

What is the other name for bereavement leave?

Bereavement Leave is also called compassionate leave.

Leave Application Formats

A leave application is a document written by an employee, a student, or anyone seeking leave and is addressed to the employer, principal, or the person in charge. Sometimes, an individual may need to take time off work, school, etc., for various reasons, and to inform the relevant superior or in-charge about such intent, the individual would write a leave application. In this application, a formal request is made to the relevant party for granting absence to the individual for a certain time from work or school.

Leave applications can be written by people for personal or professional reasons. Some of the types of leave applications that are common are:

• Application for annual leave.
• Application for Sick Leave.
• Application for injury leave.
• Application for maternity.
• Application for paternity leave.
• Application for casual leave.
• Application for Illness or death of any relative leave.
• Application for a doctor’s appointment.
• Application for the dentist’s appointment.
• Application for vacation leave.
• Application for half-day leave.

The application formats for different types of leaves may vary from organization to organization and country to country. In addition, with time, the slight changes in the leave application formats also keep occuring. Even though the formats can differ, the general information that needs to be included or is included in the leave application remains the same, which is:

• Details of the addresser, such as name, contact information, secondary or emergency contact, etc.
• Details of the addressee.
• Subject or type of leave application.
• The reason behind the leave application.
• Duration of the leave with the dates mentioned.
• In the case of the employee’s leave application, details of the person who would handle the work in the employee’s absence.
• The number of allowed and remaining leaves, if applicable.
• Signature of the addresser for the verification.

As far as the leave application formats for the schools and students are concerned, they are usually the same. However, in the organizations, generally, templates are used for the leave applications. These templates can be designed by the organizations or they can simply use the templates that are available online or in the programs, such as Microsoft Word. The already-designed templates are easily downloadable, usable and customizable as per an organization’s requirements.

In addition, due to the advancements in technology, many organizations now have their attendance software developed through experts. Through this software, the employee can not only record his everyday attendance but request for the leave as well. The employee can also constantly review the number of paid leaves he is allowed to avail from the organization at any point in time.

There are numerous benefits of using the templates or the attendance software, which include:

• The employee can easily and quickly make the request without writing it every time from scratch.
• The information needed by the organization would not be missed, which is a possibility in case every employee writes their own version of the leave application.
• It would be easy for the employer to review a leave application if it is in a generalized format, as time will not be wasted to read each and every word of the application. He can simply review the important details.

The leave application, being a formal request made to the superior, needs to be professional and concise. The candidness or wordiness need to be avoided because, in the practical world, the boss does not want to spend a lot of time on a leave application.

The application for the leave submitted by an employee is kept in the record as a softcopy or in the employee file as a hardcopy, for any future reference.

Best Teacher Intro Letter to Parents – with Examples

July 30, 2024

As many teachers know, a successful school year involves clear communication between teachers and their students’ parents and guardians. To open communication from the very start, there is the teacher introduction letters to parents, letting them know a bit about what to expect. In general, these letters introduce the teachers and provide basic information on how the parents can best engage with the learning experience. They can range in length and tone, from serious, to sincere, to silly. The tone often depends on the grade level, since an overly serious preschool intro letter or a cutesy high school letter may feel out of place. Continue reading for some tips on what to include in your intro letters to parents, as well as examples by grade level (plus an example of an intro letter from a student teacher).

Tips for Writing a Teacher Intro Letter to Parents

Before we get started with examples, here are some tips for writing your intro letter to parents. While you don’t always need all of these elements, they can be great starting points for structuring your letter.

1)  Address parents and caregivers

  It can be thoughtful to address parents and caregivers directly, even if much of your letter is copied and pasted between families. For example, you might begin with “Dear Brown Family,” “Dear Parents of Sofia Miller,” or “Dear Mr. and Ms. Garcia-Jones.” You can also address all families together, for example, “Dear 7 th Grade Families.”

2)    Introduce yourself

  This is perhaps the most important part of the letter (it’s an “intro letter” after all). Introducing yourself turns you from an abstract teacher figure to a relatable human being from the perspective of the families. It doesn’t hurt to add a few “fun facts” to the mix (where you’re from, your favorite color, things you like to do in your free time, etc.) in order to communicate your warmth and unique personality.

Teacher Intro Letter to Parents (Continued)

3)  describe your background and experience.

  The purpose of including your experience is to gain the trust of parents and guardians receiving your letter. It can include how long you’ve taught, where you earned your degree, and any other relevant experience. For example, if you are a 5th grade music teacher, you might say, “I became certified as a music instructor after 7 years of playing in a professional orchestra, and I’ve been teaching children the basics of string instruments since 2015. I also help to run the Hamilton County Orchestra Camp each summer.”

4)  Include a bit of your teaching philosophy

This does not need to be a long statement, but a few sentences about how you run your classroom. What beliefs about education guide your teaching? In addition to course material, how do you create a healthy learning environment? Check out this University of San Diego resource for teaching philosophy prompts to pull from).

Teacher Introduction Letter to Parents (Continued)

5)    guide how parents and caregivers should participate.

  How much should parents participate? While some teachers expect parents and guardians to be active participants in their students’ education (particularly teachers of younger grade levels), other teachers prefer if parents only involve themselves when necessary. Make sure it’s clear how you expect parents to support your students. Should they provide homework help? Chaperone field trips? Let you know when difficulties arise? Communicating your expectations helps parents and caretakers best support your students, and it lowers the likelihood of conflict or misunderstanding later on.

6)    Share your contact information

  When it’s necessary for parents to get in touch, make sure they know how to reach you. Provide an email and/or phone number, and let them know how to schedule a private conference or phone call if needed.

7)    Show enthusiasm

  Throughout the letter, it’s important to show your excitement about teaching your students. Even a simple “I’m excited to get to know this new class and begin the year” to can leave parents and caregivers feeling confident that their students are in good hands.

Example 1: Teacher Introduction Letter to Parents of Preschool Students

Dear families of Ms. Lee’s pre-K students,

Welcome to Pre-K, a year for your young learners to shine as they make the leap from preschool to kindergarten. I believe that pre-K students can blossom when offered a balance of challenge and play, and I’ve prepared a year full of lovely learning, cheerful challenges, amazing adventures, and glistening growth for your student. I can’t wait to meet this new class and letting the excitement begin.

Communication is key when it comes to teaching students of this age, and I hope to foster an open and honest parent/teacher relationship. I will communicate with you each week by sending home a communication folder with updates on Friday, which your students can return to the classroom on Monday. You can also email me any time at ___________ if you have any questions or concerns. I am happy to set up individual meetings over email.

Lastly, here’s a bit about me:

• My name is Erica Lee
• My favorite color is red.
• My favorite food is ravioli.
• My favorite season is fall.
• One day, I want to hike in the mountains of Colorado.

If you wouldn’t mind emailing me back with your student’s answers to these questions, I will prepare special name cards for the first day of school. Feel free to include any other information you’d like to share and questions you’d like to ask.

• My name is:
• My favorite color is:
• My favorite food is:
• My favorite season is:
• One day, I want to:

Until next week!  

Example 2: Teacher Introduction Letter to Parents of Elementary School Students

Dear Mr. Brown and Dr. Anderson,

As his homeroom teacher, it is my pleasure to welcome Drew to 4th grade for an exciting year of learning. I’m Ms. Katz and I teach 4th grade social studies. I began teaching because of my love for learning about historical civilizations and most importantly, the joy I receive from working with elementary school students.

In addition to teaching about world cultures, religions, and governments, each year I look forward to creating a warm and welcoming home-base for my homeroom students. I believe that this “home-base” should extend to families as well.

To start the year of right, I’m pleased to welcome you and Drew to our 4th Grade Open House (August 25th, 5-7 PM), an evening for students, guardians, and teachers to gather and learn a bit about each other before the school year begins. On this day, I will share a bit about the curriculum and homework expectations, as well as events and fieldtrips throughout the year. You are welcome to bring Drew’s school supplies to this event if it would be helpful for reducing the first-day-of-school hassle.

If you have any questions or concerns in the meantime, you can contact me at ______________. I check my emails on a daily basis, and I will respond to you within 24 hours.

I look forward to meeting you and Drew in a just a few short weeks!

Example 3: Teacher Introduction Letter to Parents of Middle School Students

Dear 6th Grade Families,

Welcome to middle school! I am Mx. Davis, your student’s homeroom teacher and math instructor for the year. A bit about me: I’ve been teaching at Newtown Middle School for 10 years. I graduated from Penn State University in 09’ with a Bachelor’s in Physics, and continued on to pursue my Master’s in Education with a specialization in Mathematics Education. When I’m not teaching, I love cooking, watching stand-up comedy, and playing piano.

I look forward to getting to know this new group of young mathematicians. Though middle school can be a stressful time for many students and families, I want to assure you that I will work to foster a welcoming community for your students. I take great care to emphasize kindness and inclusion while teaching middle school students.

In my 10 years of teaching, I’ve found that each student learns differently. Nobody is “bad at math” in my class, and I recognize and respect individual learning styles of my students. That said, I also ask that parents and guardians help to make sure that students complete their weekly homework assignments, which will be assigned each Tuesday and Thursday. While you should not need to help them with the math itself, I recommend setting aside 30-60 minutes for daily math practice at home. I am also open to meeting about any special needs throughout the school year (as is our excellent school guidance counselor, Mrs. Williams). Please email me with any questions or concerns.

I will also be at the Newtown Middle School welcome night for new families (August 18th, 7-9pm), and I hope to meet you there!

With great excitement,

Example 4: Teacher Introduction Letter to Parents of High School Students

Buongiorno e benvenuti!

My name is Signor Rossi, and I teach introductory and intermediate Italian at Riverview High School. I grew up outside of Rome, and I’ve been teaching Italian in the United States for over 20 years. 

As you might know, we have a unique language program here at Riverview, with special opportunities to take languages not always offered (including Italian, of course). In addition to practicing written and conversational skills, I believe it’s important that students learn about Italian culture, from opera, to literature, to cooking.

In this class, we only speak Italian. When it comes to language learning, practice makes perfect, and mistakes lead to greater understanding. Because of this, I ask my students not to use online tools such as Google Translate and ChatGPT for Italian learning, unless specified in an assignment. Though I hold my students accountable for their own homework assignments, I request that, when possible, you also discourage them from using these tools at home.

As all students will soon be informed, I will hold office hours every Wednesday and Thursday from 3-4:30 PM, as well as lunchtime Italian conversation practice on Fridays. I’m also happy to be in touch with parents regarding any concerns. I hope that we will meet at the school-wide Riverview Family Open House on September 14th, as well as parent-teacher conferences on October 21 st . In the meantime, don’t hesitate to email me at ____________.

As we say in Italy, “non vedo l’ora” (I can’t wait) to begin the year.

Signor Rossi

Example 5: Teacher Introduction Letter to Parents from a Student Teacher

  Dear 2nd Grade Parents and Guardians,

My name is Alexis Jackson, and I’m thrilled to be a student teacher in your child’s classroom, where I will be working closely with Mrs. Martin. Since I will be seeing your child daily over these next four months, I wanted to tell you a bit about myself.

I’m a Master of Science in Education student at Johns Hopkins University, with focus on elementary education, special education, and reading. I’m a Maryland local, having graduated from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County three years ago. It wasn’t long before I realized that I had a passion for elementary education and decided to pursue my Master’s degree. In my free time, I enjoy riding my bicycle, watching films, and volunteering at a local animal shelter.

I look forward to helping your children learn as I learn how to become an excellent teacher. I can already tell that this will be an amazing group of students. If you have any questions, you can direct them to my graduate school email address, __________, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

How to apply for 15 hours free childcare for parents of 9-month- olds

Since April, eligible working parents of 2-year-olds have been able to access 15 hours of childcare support as part of the expansion of childcare in England.

This comes on top of the pre-existing offer for eligible working parents of 3- and 4-year-olds, who can access 30 hours of government-funded childcare by combining the universal 15 hours, which is available to all families, with a further 15-hour entitlement for working parents.

From  September 2024 , 15 hours of childcare support will be extended to eligible working parents with a child from age 9-months-old. Applications are now open – more on this below.

It's worth noting that some providers may charge for extra services, such as providing lunch and nappies in addition to the government funded childcare. Visit  childcarechoices.gov.uk  for further information.

We recommend that everyone who is seeking a childcare place for September 2024 and has not yet done so, speaks to their chosen provider and applies for a code as soon as possible.

It may be difficult at this stage to secure your first-place provider. If you are struggling to find a place you should contact your local authority, who will be able to help source a local provider offering the entitlements.

When can I apply and how do I get my code? 

Applications are open for eligible working parents whose children will be aged at least 9-months-old on or before 31 August, to receive 15 hours childcare starting from September.

This can be combined with the universal 15 hours to make 30 hours childcare when your child turns 3 or 4.

When you apply, you’ll receive a code to give to your childcare provider.

It’s important to remember that codes need to be renewed every three months . To do this, you’ll need to remember to login to your childcare account to check when your reconfirmation dates are, so that you can renew your code on time. If you don’t renew it on time, you will need to reapply.

You can claim your place the term after your child turns the relevant age. This gives local authorities and childcare providers enough time to prepare.

There is no limit on the number of codes available. However, if you’re applying for childcare to start in September 2024, we recommend that you reach out to your preferred provider now to check when they will need your code.

How do I apply?  

You apply online here on  gov.uk  once you have checked our  eligibility criteria .

You’ll need to make sure you have the following information to hand before starting the application:

• your national insurance number (or unique taxpayer reference if you are self-employed)
• the date you started or are due to start work
• details of any government support or benefits you receive
• the UK birth certificate reference number (if you have one) for your child.

You may find out if you’re eligible straight away, but it can take up to 7 days.

Once your application has been approved, you’ll get a code to give to your childcare provider.

Eligible parents are also able to access Tax-Free Childcare through the same application system. You can apply for Tax-Free Childcare at any time. However, you don't need to apply for Tax-Free Childcare to be eligible to apply for the 15 hours childcare scheme.

Can I apply for government-funded childcare if I’m on parental leave?

Yes, you can.

If you’re applying for childcare for an older child, who is not the reason for your parental leave, you can continue to apply in the usual way.

For parents applying for funded childcare for the child who is the reason for your parental leave, you can apply for a childcare code at the same time as everyone else as long as you plan to return to work from parental leave or start a new job by the end of September 2024.

Parents on parental leave will need to apply online. They may be told their application is ‘pending’ if it is more than 31 days before they return to work, but they will still receive a letter in the post within 1 to 2 weeks so they can access their childcare entitlement.

Parents starting new work before 30 September can call HMRC on 0300 123 4097 to receive a code.

What if I’m on parental leave and returning to work after 1 October 2024? 

Parents who plan to start or return to work between 1 October 2024 and 31 January 2025 will be able to apply for a code from 1 September 2024 to use from 1 January 2025.

After 1 October 2024, the following dates will apply:

It is important to remember that if you are applying for childcare for an older child, who is not the reason for your parental leave, you can apply regardless of your return-to-work date.

What happens once I receive my code? 

Once you receive your code, you’ll need to take it to your childcare provider, along with your National Insurance number and your child’s date of birth.

Your childcare provider will process the code to provide your place.

Your local authority can provide support for finding a government-funded place in your area. You can find out who your local authority is here .

If I receive a code in a letter from HMRC, does this make my code on my Childcare Account invalid? 

No. Both codes will be valid.

If you have two codes, one from your letter beginning with 11 and one from the website beginning with 50, please give your provider the code from the website, as this is the permanent digital code for your child.

If you only have one code (beginning with 11) then you can use this code to start using your government-funded hours.

Please remember that once your reconfirmation window opens, you will still need to reconfirm your eligibility through your Childcare Account and share the digital code you receive with your provider.

Do I need to wait for my reconfirmation window to add another child to my account? 

A parent who is already using the childcare service for another child can add a new child to their account at any time.

Your reconfirmation cycle for your current Tax-Free Childcare won’t affect this.

What happens if I’m using an entitlement for my 2-year-old when they become 3?

Parents are able to access the universal 15 hours childcare support from the term after the child’s third birthday through to when they start school.

If your child is accessing the 15 hours entitlement for 2-year-olds and you remain eligible, your child will automatically be moved onto 30 hours (universal 15 hours + 15 hours for working parents) from the term after your child turns 3.

You will just need to keep reconfirming your code as normal, and it will become usable to claim 30 hours.

You should also speak to your provider to let them know you intend to take up 30 hours.

If you are accessing disadvantaged entitlement childcare for, you will also able to access the universal entitlement from the term after your child turns 3.
