During the current period of restrictions, £3.8 million has been made available for grants in each 4 week period, this will total £11.2 million between January-March. In view of the reopening of the early learning and childcare sector from the 22 February we are considering how best to utilise the one third of the fund identified for March to best support those in the sector in greatest need, in particular if restrictions continue for school age childcare settings.
