How to fund your childcare in Greater Manchester
Government-funded childcare
The UK government has expanded its funding scheme to help cover the costs of childcare in England.
As an approved childcare provider, we can help you apply for free government-funded hours and tax-free childcare.
Your circumstances are unique, and so is how you fund your childcare. The UK government has created this handy step-by-step guide to help you understand the available options. Similarly, we would also be happy to help if you have any questions. Contact us on 0161 654 6517.
Go to the government childcare account portal when you’re ready to set up your account, and remember to pass on your code to us every three months to claim your funding.
