We’ve secured £2,857,359 to create more early years spaces for children aged 9 to 23 months. This is a capital fund only and covers the whole county.

We have also been allocated £6.9 million between now and 31 March 2026 to support the rollout of Wraparound Childcare within the county. This includes capital and revenue funding.

If you are interested in any of these opportunities, please fill out the expression of interest forms by Friday 9 February.
