Childcare settings who work with the Childcare Offer for Wales will know that the new national digital service is now live and open to parents and settings to create Childcare Offer Agreements for this term. Thank you for registering with the new service to help ensure parents in Wales can continue to access Offer-funded childcare. Without your support this would not have been possible!

Please remember that:

• All parents wishing to take up Offer-funded childcare from January 2023 must apply through the new service
• Claims for childcare provided to parents taking up the Offer from January 2023 can only be made through the new service

Local Childcare Offer legacy systems will wind down over the coming months, meaning the national digital service will become the only Childcare Offer system that settings will need to work with from the 2023 autumn term.

Further information on the new national digital service can be found here Childcare Offer for Wales: National Digital Service | GOV.WALES

Don’t forget, if you didn’t manage to make the online training sessions on using the new service, you can play them back here.

Please contact the Childcare Offer for Wales helpline for any further information.
