Childcare Choices
The *Childcare Choices campaign* [

The DfE have released a campaign toolkit which includes resources (social media posts and posters) that you can download and share with families - Information targeted at Parents | Childcare choices [
]
The information covered includes the 15 and 30 hours offers, and support with childcare such as Tax-free childcare and help for families on Universal Credit.
You can also download a leaflet for parents and carers on the offers here - A5 Leaflet_without crops.pdf (childcarechoices.gov.uk) [

there are lots of opportunities to introduce new verses. This is a fun way to teach new words and actions that link to them.
