We know that you are all doing critical work to help us all during these extraordinary times. We are determined to assist you as much as we can to continue to provide your crucial service.
Due to the amazing generosity of our staff volunteering their time, we are able to offer a limited amount of childcare:
It is essential that any parent who is eligible for emergency childcare in Bridgend applies for this provision, even if you have previously made an application.
Please note that parents currently in receipt of emergency childcare must reapply for places for the period Saturday 28 March through to Sunday 19 April inclusive.
