Up to 10,000 registered childminders working in deprived parts of England are to receive temporary grants of up to 100 a week to help them through periods of financial difficulty. The Government is to spend 3.5m, some of which is from the European Social Fund, over two years on bridging grants over a five-week period for childminders in deprived areas. They can apply for the grant only twice in any 12-month period.
