The Island's pre-school voucher scheme will be extended.
Government has agreed to do so to support nurseries, childminders and other child day care providers during the Covid-19 pandemic.
This move will ensure children of key workers will continue to be looked after during these unprecedented times.
It means the Government will continue to fund pre-school vouchers for all facilities closed, for all approved pre-school age children who are registered.
Officials will also issue additional pre-school vouchers for pre-school age children and extend vouchers to younger children (0-3) of key workers.
Lastly, they will pull forward 3rd term payments for pre-school vouchers and pay these from 1 April onwards.
