Childcare support - care leavers

All three and four year olds are entitled to 15 hours free childcare for 38 weeks of each year. Some two year olds are also entitled to this amount of childcare. You can use the childcare checker to see if your child is entitled.

If you aren't entitled to free childcare but need support to be able to study, train or work then you should talk to your personal adviser. They will be able to request funding to support you and the care leavers team manager will decide on how best to support you.
