Wraparound childcare
We are expanding wraparound childcare for primary school-aged children by increasing the number of available places.
This helps parents and carers balance work or study with family life.
What is wraparound childcare?
Wraparound childcare provides before and after school childcare for primary school-aged children during term time.
It is available every school day outside normal school hours and is designed to help parents access reliable childcare so they can work or study.
Wraparound childcare is different from out-of-school activities or school clubs, which may run less frequently or as one-off sessions.
Who provides wraparound childcare?
Wraparound childcare is offered by:
- schools
- private, voluntary and independent providers
- childminders
- early years settings
It is often delivered on a school site or at another setting in the local area.
