Expanded childcare support resources
From 1 April, thousands of 2-year-olds in England started accessing 15 hours childcare as part of the first phase of the childcare support expansion, so parents can juggle work and life. Eligible working families with children who turn at least 9 months old on or before 31 August can now apply for a code via the Childcare Choices website to receive 15 hours childcare per week.
Our campaign promotes the benefits of taking a funded place with a childminder or nursery and encourages eligible Lancashire working families to take up a funded place.
Objective
- To encourage eligible families to find out what childcare support they are entitled to on the Childcare Choices website.
- To encourage take-up of early years funded places at nurseries and childminders in Lancashire.
Website
More information is available on:
- Childcare Choices website.
- Funded places for 9 months-23 months guide page
