Bid to support families with childcare costs
Childcare Credit payments are set to increase over the next academic year.
Government is boosting the amount available to eligible parents and carers by an extra £128 per child from September, when the payment rises from £4,300 to £4,428.
The Childcare Credit Scheme, which replaced the Pre-School Credit Scheme two years ago, extended financial support to parents of children who turn three in the academic year in which they apply, as well as those who turn four.
Education Minister Daphne Caine says: "We know childcare costs can be a real pressure for families. This latest increase means parents and carers will have more support to help cover the cost of early education and childcare.
“I encourage anyone who is eligible to apply now".You can apply HERE, or call 685808 to request a form.
