Hi there. I have checked our systems and we have no Midwifery courses with a foundation year listed as available for funding from that University. I would advise speaking to them about this. If this course is listed with a foundation year and available for funding and as long as the child care provider is registered then you can apply for this. Thanks, David

Hi Suybi,

So you are looking to find out if you can use the Childcare Grant for your child's nursery?

I know I can use it for child nursery, I want to know If i can use it in school at al?
A friend of mine is working and her child(3Y) gets funding for full time in school(Foundation 1 or pre school).
I know that is completely different scheme(30 hours childcare). I wonder if I can use the childcare grant towards the school too.
