Please fill in below your Group ID and your Password (to be found on the Service Declaration e-mailed to you). When you submit these, your Electronic Return Form will come up. When entering the Group ID and Password (without any spaces or hyphens) do not delete any leading zeros. For example, 09CC0001 and 0003, NOT 09/CC/01 and 03.
Please ensure you have at least version 9 of Adobe Reader. If you don't have it or have an older version, (i.e. lower that 9), you can download the latest version here
Please contact your City/County Childcare Committee (CCC) if you have difficulty on logging on at this stage and they may be able to help you. If there are any difficulties remaining, the CCC will contact the OMCYA on your behalf to ensure you can make a return.
You are advised to read the instructions on the form very carefully, and to keep the printed instructions that were e-mailed to you to hand, while you complete the form. A number of fields have an explanatory label that you can read by hovering your cursor over them.
You should enter each field with the requested information. On completion of the details of the first parent/child, please click the appropriate “add child” or “add parent” button to enter the second child or next parent, and so on. These can be deleted by using the minus button (“-”) next to it., and you should do this if you do not have the required details of a child e.g. their correct PPSN.
Compulsory fields are outlined in red, and must be completed before submitting the form. This includes all children/parent details, and if you have “added” a child or parent field which has no details in it, or does not have sufficient details to make a claim for capitation or subvention, you may need to click the “delete” button to remove it, in order to submit your return.
When you enter the PPS number, the form will check that the number is a valid one, and if you enter an invalid number, an error message will come up and ask you to re-enter a correct number. If the number you have been provided with is not accepted as valid, and you cannot obtain the correct number before completing the form, you should (a) Click 'OK' on the error message, (b) enter a number you know to be valid in that field (e.g. your own), and (c) delete the child/parent from the form. You can check with the parents for a valid PPS number and send a further return with that child later, up to the end of the returns process?
The "Weeks parents pay for" is a reference to the number of weeks that paying parents pay fees.
This form will be online until the close of business on Tuesday, 25th January, and so will be available for a full week, 24 hours per day. The information collected will be forwarded for verification very shortly after this date, so it is very important that you complete the form in that time. Where details for qualified children are received after this date, they will be assessed manually by this Office, and written evidence that a child is qualified will generally be required.
