You can seek assistance with the expense of daycare in a variety of ways. You can receive additional assistance for childcare if you apply for Working Tax Credits or Universal Credit. The Tax-Free Childcare programme (sometimes known as workplace childcare vouchers) can assist reduce your childcare costs if you do not get Working Tax Credits or Universal Credit. You may check what childcare assistance is offered to you on the Childcare Choices website. More than half of Barnsley's two-year-olds are entitled to free early education for up to 15 hours a week. This implies that you wouldn't have to pay for your child to attend our playgroup. You must fulfil the requirements for eligibility. The Barnsley Family Information Service website has a wealth of information, and that is also where you submit your application. If you are qualified after applying, you will receive a letter that you must deliver to Station House as soon as you receive it. We refer to the letter as the "Tick Letter" because, if you qualify for the help, it will be marked with a sizable green tick. Not qualified? Just relax. There is still a spot available at Station House. Due to the kindness of our funders, you will receive a discount on your child's playgroup registration. Additionally, you might be qualified for additional assistance under the Childcare Choices programme. Confused? Do not! If you speak with our amiable staff, we will lead you to the appropriate sources of assistance.
