| Codes issued and validated are as of 06 August 2018. | Not set | Not set | Not set |
| The table excludes codes issued and codes validated for children aged four by 31st August 2018 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 |
| There were 297 codes issued to parents where the local authority was unknown. These are included in the national figure. | Not set | Not set | Not set |
| Code checks for Hammersmith and Fulham and Kensington and Chelsea are made by Westminster | Not set | Not set | Not set |
| Code checks for Kingston upon Thames and Richmond upon Thames are made by the same third party organisation (Achieving for Children) and therefore checks for both local authorities may be recorded as in either local authority | Not set | Not set | Not set |
