Education Minister, Peter Weir outlined the plans following the allocation of £8.5 million funding in October for ongoing recovery and sustainability within the childcare sector.

The Childcare Sustainability Support Fund developed for the period 1 September to 31 December, will:

• help childcare providers with the additional costs of operating within Covid-19 guidance; and
• provide financial support to childcare providers operating with reduced demand for services.

Eligible childcare providers will shortly receive an email inviting them to apply.
