Did you know…..
You may qualify for help towards the costs of childcare if the childcare you use is registered. The Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) is responsible for the registration and regulation of childcare in Wales. You can check with the Family Information Service if your childcare provider is registered with CIW. You can also request the registration number directly from your provider.
The following information provides sources of help with childcare costs. Only general information is given, as eligibility depends on circumstances and income. Parents therefore need to liaise with the contacts given to receive more detailed information on accessing this financial help.
Wyddoch chi…..
Efallai y byddwch yn gymwys i dderbyn cymorth tuag at gostau gofal plant os yw’r gofal plant rydych chi’n ei ddefnyddio wedi’i gofrestru. Mae Arolygiaeth Gofal Cymru (AGC) yn gyfrifol am gofrestru a rheoleiddio gofal plant yng Nghymru. Gallwch chi wirio gyda’r Gwasanaeth Gwybodaeth i Deuluoedd os yw eich darparwr gofal plant wedi’i gofrestru gyda AGC. Gallwch hefyd ofyn am y rhif cofrestru yn uniongyrchol gan eich darparwr.
Mae’r wybodaeth ganlynol yn darparu ffynonellau cymorth gyda chostau gofal plant. Dim ond gwybodaeth gyffredinol a roddir, gan fod cymhwysedd yn dibynnu ar amgylchiadau ac incwm. Felly mae angen i rieni gysylltu â’r cysylltiadau a roddir i dderbyn gwybodaeth fanylach ar gael mynediad at y cymorth ariannol hwn.
