Free Childcare Scheme - How to manage your ABSENCE ENTITLEMENT

Watch this video to learn all about how to manage your absence entitlement, and take note of the facts below:

Each child is entitled to a 25% ABSENCE ENTITLEMENT which is calculated on the number of booked hours per month. The Government will pay the childcare centres in full for each month if the child attends the full amount of booked hours, and up to a maximum of 10% over and above the booked hours per month.

If the child does not attend the full amount of booked hours, whether it is for certified medical absence or any other absence, then the difference between the booked hours and the attended hours is deducted from the 25% absence entitlement.

If the 25% absence entitlement hours are exhausted, the parent/guardian will be notified and the difference between the booked hours and attended hours would need to be paid directly to the Centre by the parent/guardian, should the Centre issue any bill/s.
