5. Using and tracking your Break Time hours

Your child or young person can use their 78 Break Time hours at any time in the year between 1 April and 31 March (subject to eligibility and availability of groups and activities). 

Children and young people can use their hours with one provider or split them between two providers. 

Hours can be used over holiday periods or during term time or a combination of both. 

To help you keep track of how many Break Time hours you've booked, we'll send you a Break Time hours tracker with your acceptance letter.
