To support Councils with the first year of delivery, and to enable them to support providers to deliver sufficient 30 hours places, the Department for Education (DfE) has established a Delivery Support Fund (DSF). This fund will be made available to Councils via a bid round. Funding will be available for work that directly benefits 30 hours delivery and will create (directly or indirectly) new 30 hours places for the 2018 Summer Term.
