Childcare support available for students

Learner Support can help with childcare costs if you're aged 19 or over, on a further education course and facing financial hardship.

The Care to Learn scheme can help with childcare costs while you study if you are under 20 at the start of your course.

You can apply for a Childcare Grant if you’re in full-time higher education to pay for childcare costs for children.
