Help with childcare costs

Childcare support for young parents in further education

Support for young parents in further education is available through Care to Learn, which pays for registered childcare for parents aged under 20 who attend training or a course at a school or college.

Childcare costs of up to £155 per week, which includes travel expenses to and from a registered childcare provider, can be claimed.

The childcare provider will receive payment direct from Care to Learn. Any funding to help with travel costs will be paid directly to the learning or training provider regularly and they will reimburse you.
