Can young parents get help with childcare?
If you are a young parent, Care to Learn can help pay for your childcare and travel costs while you are learning. You could choose to take a course or learning programme that lasts for a few days, or one which lasts for several years. There are no set hours, so you could study part time or full time. You can, for example, use Care to Learn to pay for childcare at any of the following places: – childminder – pre-school playgroup – day nursery – out of school club – other registered childcare (such as your college nursery or crèche) The one condition is that the childcare must be registered. Registered childcare providers must meet national standards, and are inspected each year to make sure they are providing good quality care. Contact Warwickshire Family Information Service to find out more about Care to Learn and get information on childcare providers in your area. www.warwickshire.gov.
