Childcare Offer for Wales service changes / Gwasanaeth Cynnig Gofal Plant-newidiadau

A change to the way you sign in to the Childcare Offer for Wales service is coming soon

Do you provide childcare funded by the Childcare Offer for Wales?

If so, you will know that you sign in to the Childcare Offer for Wales digital service with your Government Gateway account.

Government Gateway is being replaced by GOV.UK One Login as the sign-in method for the Childcare Offer for Wales. In due course every Childcare Offer service user will need to move to GOV.UK One Login to sign into their Childcare Offer account. The process is straightforward, and Welsh Government anticipate you’ll be able to start moving to GOV.UK One Login from May. Welsh Government will email you to let you know when you can make the change.

However, you can start to prepare for the changeover now, which will make it even easier!

  • When moving over to GOV.UK One Login, it will be important that each member of staff in your setting has their own unique email address. This is a requirement of GOV.UK One Login. Please ensure you have individual email addresses ready for all staff members to move to GOV.UK One Login when the time comes.
  • If you have more than one Government Gateway account linked to the Childcare Offer for Wales, you will need to move each of these accounts to GOV.UK One Login when the time comes.
  • If you have more than one Government Gateway account linked to the Childcare Offer for Wales and you use the same email address for each of these Government Gateway accounts, you will need to have a unique email address ready for each account when the time comes to move.

  • Please ensure the email address noted under ‘Your details’ in your Childcare Offer account is correct, as further guidance on moving to GOV.UK One Login will be sent to this email address.
