Our apologies, the information included in the HWB newsletter is misleading.  The Childcare Offer for Wales is for working parents of children aged 3 and 4 years old.  

The 30 hours is funded childcare, not free childcare.  The Childcare Offer Additional Support Grant is paid direct to the childcare provider if the child is accessing the 30 hours Childcare Offer.
