Childcare Business Support
Free business advice, support and training is available to all registered childcare providers in Stockton-on-Tees. The Local Authority is committed to supporting the development and sustainability of quality childcare provision, which meets the needs of families and which supports the wider social and economic development of the area.
In addition to the above support, small grants may be available to providers, who meet set criteria, who are facing short-term sustainability issues.
The authority also holds a preferred childcare provider register, if any childcare business opportunities arise then those providers on the register will be invited to tender. If you are interested in becoming a preferred provider, please contact Claire Copeland for an application form.
