Childcare Affordability Programme (CAP)

The CAP programme will run until 31 March 2009.

The London Development Agency (LDA) launched the London Childcare Affordability Programme (CAP) as part of the London Childcare Strategy. The objective of CAP is to enable parents on low incomes in London to remain in, or return to full or part time work and flexible work.

The aim is to provide parents with greater access, choice, flexibility and quality childcare provision. As well as provide sustainability for childcare providers which will enable them to offer quality provision at affordable fee rates. Currently we have six childcare settings offering affordable and flexible childcare places under this scheme, from which parents can access CAP.

Parents can only access CAP through the providers shown and should contact them directly to discuss their childcare needs, if places are available and if they meet the criteria.

To qualify parents should be on the lower income and in receipt of the higher rate of Child Tax Credit (receiving more than £545.34 for tax year 2008-2009). Note: You will be required to show your award letter to the relevant nursery manager.
