Nearly 1,300 parents are now receiving financial help towards early years’ education and childcare costs.
The updated Childcare Credit Scheme means that an additional 612 children are being supported this year so far.
The Childcare Credit Scheme 2024 which replaced the Pre-School Credit Scheme in April, extended financial help to parents of children who turn three in the academic year in which they apply, as well as those who turn four.
Those eligible qualify for a universal credit of £4,166 per child, per year, to use with a Government registered childcare provider.
Since the end of May when applications opened, 612 parents have successfully applied for support for children that turn three in this academic year, and 684 for those turning four.
