Care to Learn
After you've applied
You must give your learning provider either:
- a copy of the child’s birth certificate
- a letter confirming receipt of Child Benefit for that child
Your childcare provider will only be paid after you’ve provided this.
If you qualify
You’ll get a letter and a payment plan telling you what financial help you can get.
Your childcare provider will also get the payment plan to let them know when they’ll be paid.
If you’re eligible for travel costs, your learning provider will be told about payments for this.
If your circumstances change
You must report changes to your:
- personal details
- childcare provider
- hours of childcare
- travel costs
- learning provider
You can do this by updating your online application.
Benefits
