Grants to childcare providers 2009 – 10

These grants are currently available under Swindon Sure Start Partnership’s 2009 – 10 grant programme.

They are funded from the Department for Children, Schools and Families’ Sure Start, Early Years and Childcare Grant.

Grants are available to settings located in the Borough of Swindon. 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.
