Childcare Provider Grant

The Welsh Government have launched the Childcare Provider Grant to help childcare providers with the economic consequences of coronavirus (Covid-19).

The grant compliments other Government support measures (such as the Job Retention Scheme to cover ‘furloughed’ employees) for people and business.

You are not eligible for this grant if you have received, or have been successful in applying for support from:

The business rate grant from your Local Authority
Economic resilience fund for SME and microbusinesses
