Additional means of financial support do exist to help parents pay for good quality childcare – such as grants and loans for students.  For a more comprehensive overview of these and any other options that may be available to you, visit Paying for Childcare.org.uk.

At the London Early Years Foundation, we also offer short-term funding for some nursery places to help parents back into work or following unexpected redundancy.  Ask your nursery manager or read how our own initiative A Better Future might be able to help you and your child right now.
