Learners could claim their Free Early Years Education Entitlement and then claim support from this scheme for any extra childcare hours they need in order to undertake their course, but individuals would not be able to claim this support to pay for the childcare hours that are already supported through the Free Early Years Education Entitlement. For example, if a child is already in nursery each morning of the week paid for by the Free Early Years Education Entitlement, but the parent needs two full days a week in college to undertake their course, this parent would be able to claim childcare support from this scheme for the two additional afternoons.
