Managed funds
The Access to Childcare Fund
This fund supports childcare solutions that enable more accessible and affordable childcare for families and help reduce barriers parents and carers experience in accessing childcare. Its aim is to make services more accessible and affordable for low-income families, particularly the six identified priority family groups most at risk from living in poverty as set out in the Scottish Government's Tackling Child Poverty Delivery Plan.

The ELC Inclusion Fund operated for four years and came to an end on 31 March 2022. It provided funding to ELC settings to support children with additional support needs (ASN) in Scotland to access their funded ELC entitlement. Staff working in ELC settings could apply for funding for training, resources, equipment and adaptations to support children with ASN within their setting.
