Childcare Choices: Childcare Provider Toolkit

News

This toolkit contains a step-by-step guide to help you make your service accessible to families who use government childcare support, boosting your business in the process.

Over a million families in the UK are entitled to some form of government childcare support, but many are missing out because childcare providers in their area haven’t signed up to offer the various schemes.

In parallel, many childcare providers are missing out on boosting their businesses by increasing demand as they aren’t accessible to families who use government childcare support.

Government childcare financial support is not limited to just nurseries and childminders, depending on eligibility criteria, this support could help boost business for breakfast clubsafter-schools clubs; activity clubs; holiday clubshome care workers and play schemes or children up to 11 or 17 if disabled with Tax-Free Childcare and children 0-16 with Universal Credit for Childcare.
