30 hours Funding

The government has announced that some families will benefit from 30 hours of free childcare a week. This is being piloted in several areas including SWINDON. For the pilot Swindon Borough Council will be setting their own criteria, which families will have to meet in order to take this benefit.

The criteria has not yet been communicated and we are anticipating more information will be forthcoming over the next couple of weeks.

If you have any queries relating to this you can contact Swindon Borough Council direct on this link.  30hours@swindon.gov.uk
