Co-op Childcare is offering parents that have lost their jobs because of the pandemic some free childcare sessions

The Helping Hands redundancy support programme is designed to take pressure off parents who are facing financial uncertainty.

The nursery group is making support available to families where one, or both, parents or carers have been made redundant this year, between 1 April 2020 and 31 December.

From November until the end of this year, Co-op Childcare, is offering qualifying families two free childcare sessions and 50 per cent off any additional session every week for up to six weeks.

Families are also being offered free half-hour virtual consultations with the nursery group’s childcare finance specialist, who can help them understand what other support is available to them.
