Following the announcement today (Monday 6th April) made by the
Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services, funding is being
provided to each Local Authority in Wales to support the cost of
Childcare for children 0-4 years of Critical Workers and also
vulnerable children who also need to access registered childcare.
From today, Critical Workers with children aged 0-4 years will be able
to access childcare at a registered setting at no cost.
To make this funding possible, The Welsh Government has had to
suspend the Childcare Offer for Wales with immediate effect.
Applications are now closed and all children who were due start on
the Childcare Offer this April will be cancelled until further notice.
However, The Welsh Government will continue to pay booked hours
for children who are currently participating in the Childcare Offer until
mid-June 2020, with a review to be undertaken at the end of that
period.
Pembrokeshire County Council will manage all bookings for the
Critical Workers childcare Offer.
To access this, you must register your child with Pembrokeshire
County Council.
