COVID-19: Childcare for children aged 2-4 years
Mon 30 Mar 2020Eligible 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
