Who is eligible for distanced learning childcare?

In accordance with state guidance, we strongly recommend that parents keep children at home wherever possible. In cases where this is not possible, all parents are eligible to apply for childcare during distanced learning, though we are unable to guarantee all parents places. With places limited, places will be allocated according to the specific criteria. Places are first offered to single parents and to households with both parents working and one belonging to the specific professional groups e.g. health sector, teachers and parents performing business critical tasks. If you meet this criteria, please include this in the comments field in your application. Remaining places will then be offered to parents who do not meet the above criteria.
