Out of school clubs and holiday play schemes
When your child starts school, you may need childcare for before school, after school and during the school holidays.
Wraparound provision can be offered by schools and Ofsted registered private, voluntary and independent (PVI) providers (including childminders and early years settings) and can be run on a school site or another venue in the local area.
High quality wraparound care has several benefits for children, parents and carers:
- For children, it provides a supportive environment to learn new skills, play and socialise.
- For parents and carers, it provides peace of mind knowing that their children are in a safe environment before and after school allowing them flexibility with their working hours
