After you have chosen your childcare provider, you will need to find out what financial support is available.
The government has developed a number of ways to help parents with their childcare costs for children of all ages. Access to schemes will depend on your individual family circumstances.
You can visit Childcare Choices (external link) for further details on eligibility and which schemes can be used together. The government have developed a handy childcare calculator (external link) to help you work out which scheme will benefit you the most.
