Mum and new to studying

Hello, I'm wondering what options there are for mums with a three year old at nursery i work also, have applied for part-time study but would love to do full-time.
How do you cover rent costs etc if you quit to go full time, unsure on the loan side of things!

In addition to a maintenance loan, you might be eligible for the Childcare Grant and the Parents' Learning Allowance. Have a look at the following page:

You can also try the student finance calculator to see how much you might get:

If you are studying a healthcare course or social work, there are additional bursaries available:
