If you have a child that’s two-years-old or will be turning two shortly, you may be eligible for childcare funding.
Funding covers up to 15 hours of childcare a week for 38 weeks of the year. This can be used at local nurseries, pre-schools and childminders. If you are on certain benefits or on a low income you may be entitled to this funding. Check if you are eligible for funding here.
When you apply online, an instant response is provided. Following this, a code will be provided to give to your childcare provider. To apply in person or for help finding a childcare place information is available at the Family Information Service Welcome Area in Poole or the Children’s Information Service Welcome Area in Bournemouth.
