Help with your childcare costs

In April 2024, the government introduced changes to help parents to return to work, or increase their working hours, following parental leave. This includes providing increased funded childcare for eligible parents with children aged nine months to four years. View Changes to nursery and pre-school childcare for more information.

The government has also recently announced an increase in the number of wraparound childcare places available. View Wraparound childcare for more information.
