FUNDING YOUR CHILDCARE

Government Funding

Government Funding of childcare is available through:

  • Care to Learn – a government initiative to help young parents who are under 20 years old when they start their course, are caring for their own child(ren) and use an Ofsted registered childcare provider.
  • Early Years Development and Childcare Plan (Surestart) which provides funding towards childcare places for children who are 3 years +. The Funding starts in the term after they are 3 years old.
  • the childcare element of Working Family Tax Credits.
