More children before and after school

We know that finding good, affordable childcare is one of the biggest challenges facing parents and carers. Now, primary school children will be able to access more term time childcare help following our successful bid to the government's Wraparound Childcare Fund.

More than 80% of schools are now able to offer Breakfast and After School Clubs from 8am to 6pm with a further 15% offering slightly shorter hours.

Whilst most schools provide on-site Wraparound Childcare, alternative options such as local childminders are also available to accommodate individual family needs.

The extra money will also allow some schools that don't currently offer Wraparound Childcare or wish to offer more places to do so, depending on parental demand.

We're working to offer flexible, accessible childcare options for every family. Learn more about Wraparound Childcare options, tax-free childcare, Universal Credit childcare support, MOD childcare vouchers and other resources available near you.
