Childcare Funding

This year the government have introduced several new types of funding for eligible children to help towards childcare costs for working parents. At Jigsaw we offer the new funding for eligible working families from 9 months old, as well as funding for 2, 3 and 4 year olds for children who live in England.
The funding available is for up to 30 hours per week for 38 weeks a year. We spread the funding across the year, over 51 weeks.

Please visit www.childcarechoices.gov.uk to find out if you are eligible for funding to help towards childcare costs.

You can also find details of Tax free childcare on this website which can also provide a significant saving each month, and can be used alongside the government funding.
