 The Child Care Offer for Wales is open again for applications. If you are a parent of a three or four year old, you can submit your application now. Details on timings and how to apply will be available on local authority websites and through family information services. Local authorities are working hard to ensure you can access the offer as soon as possible. Processing times are likely to take longer than usual at this time. So, please be patient and make sure you include the correct information in your application so that your local authority can process it more quickly.
