Registered childcare premises in Wales will benefit from 100 per cent non-domestic rates relief for an extra three years, the deputy minister for social services Julie Morgan has announced.
The extension of the rates relief, until 31 March 2025, will provide £9.7m of extra support for registered childcare premises, the Welsh government said.
It is aimed at helping those who are facing financial difficulties as a result of the pandemic and secure the level of provision that children and parents need and rely on.
