Welcome to Education and Learning
Childcare grant
Childcare Grants are available for
full time students whose dependent
children are in registered childcare.
The amount you receive depends on your circumstances but you could receive up to a maximum of £148.75 a week for one child and up to a maximum of £255 for two children.
You will not be entitled to the Childcare Grant if you or your spouse or partner claims the childcare element of the Working Tax Credit from HM Revenue and Customes.
Jobcentre Plus and Housing Benefit departments will not count this grant when they work out your benefit entitlement.
If you are awarded the Childcare Grant, it will be paid in three instalments with your loan. You do not have to repay the Childcare Grant.
Contact us for further information and an application form. You can also download the childcare grant application form via the DfES website or apply online (see related links below).
