Working parents of three and four year old children in Carmarthenshire could be eligible for up to 30 hours a week of government funded early education and childcare for up to 48 weeks of the year.
Parents who are employed or self-employed and earn on average a weekly minimum equivalent of 16 hours at National Minimum Wage could be eligible for the offer.
Carmarthenshire Family Information Service has welcomed the announcement by Welsh Government to expand its Childcare Offer to the whole of Carmarthenshire from January 2019 for eligible parents.
Cllr Glynog Davies, Executive Board Member for Education and Children’s Services, said: “I am delighted that the Child Care Offer for Wales is coming to Carmarthenshire, it’s a great scheme and I’m sure it will be of benefit to a number of hardworking parents and their children too.”
