A Guide to Government Support for Families in England
We've heard from you that it can be difficult to know what support is available. That's why we've created a simple guide in the hope of making support easier to access.
This guide is for information only. Which scheme you're better off with depends on your situation. Please check the details and eligibility of any schemes directly.
A list of all support and benefits can be found on the Government website and an overview specifically of childcare support can be found on the Government's 'Paying for Childcare' page. You can also use the Government’s childcare calculator.
