COVID-19: Childcare for children aged 2-4 years

Eligible parents of children who are currently aged between 2 and 4 years (children of school nursery age or below) can apply for a childcare place that will begin on Monday 30 March 2020.

Places should not be requested for children who, based on government advice, should be self-isolating or socially distancing.

Applications must be resubmitted every two weeks to allow those who are exiting social isolation to potentially access a place, and will enable sites across the city to adjust provision as their own staffing availability changes.

Eligibility:

single parents who are employed as specific key workers
where both parents are employed as specific key workers

Due to the limited capacity of childcare settings, initially places will only be considered for the following key worker groups:

Health and Social Care
Education and Childcare
Public Safety and National Security
Local and National Government (staff essential for the COVID-19 response)
Food and other necessary goods
Utilities, communication and financial services

Places will be allocated Monday 30 March to start childcare for new category parents on Tuesday 31 March
