Got mine through my local council, it was called Sure Start Early Years and Childcare Funding, but I know not all councils are doing it :(

It is up to every LEA whether childminders get grants or not.... call your early years team and ask..... we are able to apply for one (in the first time in any minder's memory in Wolverhampton) because they have money in their coffers that they need to have spent before the end of March, so we can apply, whther we get any is another question. Sometimes it is minders who are accredited and doing funded places that can have grant money.... it is very tricky and totally different everywhere!!
