Help with childcare costs for working parents

Wraparound Childcare

What is wraparound childcare?

Wraparound childcare is before and after school care for primary school aged children in England during term time running from 8am until 6pm. The childcare should be available every school day. It is aimed at helping parents access more childcare and work the hours they want to.

How do I find wraparound childcare near me?

To find out what wraparound childcare is available, parents should contact the child’s school or the Families Information Service run by the council.

How much will it cost providers and is financial support available?

Providers will set their own fees for wraparound places, so prices will vary. Eligible parents will be able to use Tax-Free Childcare or Universal Credit to help support cost.
