On 11 April 2017, we announced the allocation of £100 million of capital funding to create 30-hours places for eligible children to help meet demand from hardworking parents.

This funding was allocated to over 350 projects in 123 local councils in January 2017 and March 2017.

We are working closely with all projects awarded funding and will publish the outcomes in due course when all projects have completed.
