Did you know that if your child is aged 4-11-years old your child could access a Wraparound Childcare Service located at or near to your child's school during Term Time?

Wraparound childcare will support your child to rest and relax before and after school, enjoy activities with their friends and receive a healthy breakfast and snacks. This will enable you as a parent to seek employment, work more flexibly, work longer hours, or attend training/appointments. This service will be chargeable however you will be able to either access tax free childcare or if you are in receipt of universal credits then 85% of the costs could be paid for you.

All childcare is regulated and inspected by Ofsted and is provided by registered professionals who are fully trained and experienced in looking after children and all staff will have been police checked (DBS).

The childcare could be through a local primary school, childminder, or an early year’s provider.
