Question to the HM Treasury:
Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to review the accessibility of the online process to register for 30 hours of free childcare; and if so, when that review will take place.
Answered by Lord Bates
To be eligible for 30 hours free childcare parents must meet certain criteria which are checked before a parent is given a decision. The majority of these checks happen in real time. There are some cases where additional checks may be required.
As with all digital services, the childcare service is continually monitored and performance is assessed. Updates are made regularly as a result of these assessments.
