Am I eligible for Childcare Costs Funding?
You can apply for Childcare Funding if you’re on any full-time fundable Further Education or Higher Education course. You must be responsible for childcare costs incurred on the days you’re at college.
Once assessed as being eligible for Childcare Funding, your childcare provider can submit a claim for the time they’re caring for your child/children while you’re at college. Any awarded funding is paid directly to your childcare provider.
You can find out more about Childcare Funding on the Childcare page of our website, in the Childcare Guide, and in the Guide to Student Funding (2024-25 guides coming soon)
