* The maximum entitlement per annum is 570 hours Universal Entitlement, and if eligible 570 Additional Entitlement. Please speak to your childcare setting about the FEEE sessions they operate (hours and days). These should be detailed on your contract with them, and via child registers.

It is the parent’s decision how the funding is allocated between all providers who offer both universal and extended funding. However, if one of the Providers only offers universal entitlement funded places, that Provider must inform the parent prior to the child taking up the place that they will claim Universal Entitlement only.
