Did you know we can help with childcare costs?

If you’re 20 years or older and studying part-time, you may be eligible for childcare support through the Learner Support Fund (LSF). Simply request childcare assistance when you apply, and we’ll send you a form to complete. Your childcare provider must be Ofsted-registered. You must use your free government childcare hours first, and LSF can help cover any extra costs. Students with a household income below £40,000 can apply. Terms and conditions apply.
