Great news for families all over Swansea!

All families in Swansea are now eligible for Flying Start funded childcare.

This allows parents and carers to access high quality childcare for two and three-year-olds for up to 12.5 hours per week during term time only.

Funded by Welsh Government and administered by Swansea Council, families can choose from a range of providers including school-based settings, private nurseries, cylchs and childminders.

Progress has already been made through a phased approach and now all eligible aged children regardless of where they live in Swansea can benefit from the initiative.

Swansea Council's Cabinet Member for Wellbeing, Alyson Anthony, said: "Flying Start childcare funding is there to give young children the best possible start in life.

"I would urge parents or carers to take advantage of the offer as it can make such a positive difference to children.

Swansea Council Leader Rob Stewart added: "No matter where you live in Swansea then all parents and carers can now apply for Flying Start childcare now that we have completed the roll-out.

"This is available at a range of settings and through both the medium of Welsh and English.

"We are very grateful to colleagues in Welsh Government for funding this initiative that will make a real difference to young children and their families."

Applications can be made using this online tool:
