Grants to childcare providers 2010 – 11

These grants are available to settings located in the Borough of Swindon under Swindon Sure Start Partnership’s 2010 - 11 grant programme.

They are funded from the Department for Education's Sure Start, Early Years and Childcare Grant. Settings need to be aware that:

• While Swindon Sure Start Partnership is keen to hear from all local childcare providers wishing to engage with the grant programme, all grants are discretionary and there is no guarantee that funding can be awarded to all projects that meet funding criteria

• The grant programme changes from year to year dependent on funding availability and local priorities. There is no guarantee that any grant publicised in this financial year will be available in future years.
