Jersey parents can now submit applications for a new childcare support scheme that could provide thousands of pounds to help cover nursery and childminder costs for children aged two to three.
Childcare in Jersey costs around 50% more than in the UK, according to new research by Policy Centre Jersey.
Its Early Years 2024 report found parents on the island pay an average of £9.90 for childcare, compared with £6.36 across the UK.
