Several child care centres across the Western Plains will benefit from hundreds of thousands of dollars in government funding, allowing them to focus on what really matters - taking care of their children.

The over $1.75 million in government funding - split over six centres in the Western Plains - is part of an additional $3.3 million allocation to the Parkes electorate as part of the federal government's multi-million dollar Community Child Care Fund (CCF).

Federal member for Parkes Mark Coulton, who announced the funding earlier today, said it would help local child care services, particularly those in remote parts of the state, improve access to quality care.

"It will be good for our local kids, good for our hard-working families and ultimately for our community," Mr Coulton said.

"It will also have a positive economic benefit by allowing more local parents to get back into work or to take on additional hours if they chose.

“The funds will support services in areas such as Bourke, Lake Cargelligo and Lightning Ridge that may need support to keep operating, or to fund capital projects to improve services and increase the number of places available.”

Successful recipients included the Little Possums Childcare and Early Learning Centre in Warren, Lachlan Children’s Services in Condobolin, the Tottenham War Memorial Early Childhood Centre, the Walanbaa Dhurrali Early Learning Centre in Lightning Ridge, Coonamble Children's Services, and Bourke and District Children’s Services.

Leanne Pryor, Education and Care Manager for the Walanbaa Dhurrali Early Learning Centre, said she was thrilled to hear they had been successful in obtaining funding.

"It felt really good - it takes a lot of pressure off - as you can imagine ACFC centres don't get as much funding as we would like so we have to maintain strong budgets," Ms Pryor said.

"If our families don't pay their fees on time, we struggle financially, so this allows us a bit of freedom and allows the families to not worry so much too."

Funding was allocated across multiple grant streams, such as capital, community or sustainability support.

The Walanbaa Dhurrali Early Learning Centre applied for and received $310,155 for sustainability support, which will be distributed over three years.

According to Ms Pryor, the funding will allow the centre some breathing room with their expenses, such as the running of their bus and food for the children.

"It means there's going to be a little more leeway on the things we cut back on," she said.

"For example, we're hoping this will create more opportunities for our staff to build critical training and create opportunities around quality education for children which is what we want out there."
