A grant scheme in North Tyneside is proving successful in getting lone parents into work and boosting local providers' occupancy levels. Since 2005 we have offered funding, in partnership with Jobcentre Plus, that aims to promote the use of formal childcare within the borough. In certain circumstances the Sure Start Strategic Partnership (SSSP) will meet the cost of childcare for a limited period in order to provide assistance to those either working towards or returning to work.
Who Benefits?
Lone parents are being assisted in returning to work, children are benefiting from formal childcare and childcare providers are receiving additional business. While the final choice of setting lies with the parents, all forms of registered childcare are eligible to participate.
