Childcare Support at South Thames College
We do our best to offer students a variety of Childcare Support options while they study. The number of places available is limited however, so if you need help with childcare, you should apply early. Unfortunately, we can't guarantee a place for everyone who needs it.
We can help to arrange a grant for eligible students who need assistance with payments for childminders or after-school clubs. We offer limited places in our Children's Centre at our Tooting site, or near to our other Centres in south west London. We helped many students with childcare places last year - 97% told us they wouldn't have been able to study without childcare support.
There is additional funding available for students who are 16-18 years of age through "Care to learn"
Help may be available to older students through the "Free Child Care for Training and Learning" scheme.
