You'll be pleased to know that all 16-20 year old parents joining Weston College are entitled to FREE childcare through the Care to Learn scheme.

For older students, a limited number of subsidised childcare places are available if you are on a low income or in receipt of a range of income-based benefits through the Learner Support Fund.

What is 'Care to Learn'?

The aim of Care to Learn is to give financial support to teenage parents (including dads) who want to continue their education or training and need help with the cost of their childcare.

Who can get help?

A young parent can get help with their childcare if they are:

• aged under 20 years;
• on a course that they started before they were 20;
• on a course that receives some public funding;
• at a college, school or other course or
• on a work based learning programme (non-employed status)
