Childcare costs can make university feel impossible, especially when you are managing it all as a parent. 👶

Most student parents do not know this: Student Finance England will pay up to £342.24 a week toward registered childcare if you have two or more children. That is a tax-free grant, paid on top of your maintenance loan, and you never repay it. Income thresholds apply, so it is worth checking whether you qualify before you assume you do not.

A mature female student sits at a kitchen table in a modest UK home, looking through paperwork with quiet focus. A young toddler plays on the floor nearby with soft toys, and warm morning light filters through a net-curtained window. The mood is calm and determined, with a lived-in, realistic domestic setting. Aspect ratio 16:9 horizontal, suitable for a 1200x630 Facebook feed post. Photorealistic editorial photography style, not illustrated.
