Local authorities in Wales have been invited to bid for the funding which will be available over three years, 2018-2021, to open new settings or refurbish existing ones to ensure they meet the required standard to deliver the 30 hours childcare offer.
The 30 hours of funded childcare is currently being rolled out across Wales and will be available across the country by 2020.
With the funding, there will be a specific focus on developing new settings, in areas that currently lack childcare provision, in particular rural and disadvantaged areas. The funding is available for both the maintained and private and voluntary sectors.
