• schools
• sixth-forms in schools
• sixth-form colleges

What you'll get

You can get up to:

• £160 per child per week if you live outside London
• £175 per child per week if you live in London

What it covers

Care to Learn can help with the cost of:

• your childcare, including deposit and registration fees
• a childcare taster session for up to 5 days

Payments

Childcare payments go directly to your childcare provider.

Before they can be paid:
