How can the Childcare Fund help me?

We sincerely apologise that the fund is temporarily closed, please check back for updates (last updated: 10/02/2025).

Whilst we consider each case on its individual merits, the main categories from which we would normally consider making an award are:

  • Nursery Fees
  • Childminder Costs
  • Afterschool Clubs

Please note, our normal maximum limit for applications is two per year, per student.

For more details, please read the Childcare Fund Guidance Document. It is very important that you read the guidance thoroughly to avoid delays in the processing of your application. Missing information from applicants is the primary reason for applications which are delayed.

If you have any queries about the guidance, please email su.advice@lse.ac.uk.
