Help with Childcare Costs

All 3 and 4 year old children are eligible for up to 15 hours per week funded childcare from the term following their third birthday.

You do not need to apply, just let your childcare provider know you want the funded 15 hours early education place.

Your childcare provider will ask you to complete a ‘Parent Declaration Form’. This form authorises your childcare provider to claim funding from the Council for the funded hours your child gets.
