Dorset Council have some detailed information on childcare funding options, some of which enable you to claim back some costs of your childcare. Other options are funding where you do not need to pay in the first place.
See Dorset Council Childcare Funding Options for more information.

Please double check via the council / government website as the information on this page is paraphrased and correct at time of publishing only.
