The 24 hour mark is when there is 'airport control' of the flight, which runs alongside online checkin. When our daughter was of bassinet requiring age and I was warned that there were multiple bassinet requests, I popped to the airport the day prior and the seats were confirmed and checked in for us as. (We were staying in a hotel near to Heathrow)

As you mentioned Nick, priority for the bassinet positions at least, will always be given to passengers with small children, before being opened up.
