| Codes issued and validated are as of 9th April 2018. | Not set | Not set | Not set |
| The table exclude 5,023 codes issued and 1,994 codes validated for children aged 4 at 31st August who did not turn 5 before the 31st March as it is likely these children will have taken up a reception place and therefore are ineligible for 30 hours free childcare. However, some of these children may defer their entry into reception and will continue to be eligible for 30 hours free childcare. | Not set | Not set | Not set |
| Codes issued relate to the local authority where the parent is resident. Codes validated relate to the local authority where the code was checked. These are not always the same, therefore it is possible for the number of codes validated to exceed the number issued. | Not set | Not set | Not set |
