Wraparound care
From September 2016, all parents/carers of children in Reception up to Year 9 have the right to request that the school their child attends considers establishing (or extending) wraparound and / or holiday childcare.
Childcare providers may also request to use school facilities for wraparound and / or holiday provision at times when the school is not using them.
Wraparound care includes, for example:
- early morning 'breakfast club' provision
- after-school childcare which extends beyond the end of the school day during term time
- childcare available in the school holidays.
