Buckinghamshire Council is reminding parents of two-year-old children to check whether they are entitled up to 15 hours a week funded childcare.
Any parent or carer who currently claims some benefits may qualify for this support, which is worth over £3,000. Full details of who is eligible can be found on the Buckinghamshire Council website.
The funded childcare can be used with participating childminders, day nurseries, pre-schools and nursery schools across Buckinghamshire.
Buckinghamshire Council's Cabinet Member for Children's Services, Anita Cranmer, told Bucks Radio: "I'd really urge parents of two-year-olds to check whether they are eligible for this support with their childcare providers – this is a considerable extra help, especially with the rising cost of living we are going through. Likewise, if you know someone who might be eligible, do let them know about this important opportunity."
