Wraparound Childcare

Are you looking to get back to work or study?

The main goal of the National Wraparound Childcare Programme is to boost parents' and carers' access to work or study by expanding the availability and uptake of wraparound childcare spaces for primary-aged children between 8am and 6pm (or at times that match local labour market patterns).

The goal is to make life easier for working parents or carers by offering reliable care that helps children start and finish their school day smoothly.


Cost and funding

Fees are set by providers, with financial support available through Tax-Free Childcare and Universal Credit Childcare for eligible parents. The MOD also provides funding for those eligible.


Finding Wraparound Childcare

Wraparound Childcare is offered by schools, private providers, and childminders. Parents can search for available places through the West Berkshire Families Information Services (FIS) or contact local providers.

Wraparound Childcare may be provided through various models, including:

School-led provision

Managed by school staff on school premises.

Private provider-led provision

Run by private providers, either on school premises or other locations.

Community/cluster model

A community-focused approach where children from multiple schools attend a shared facility.

Early years providers

Local nurseries or preschool settings offering before and after school care

Childminders

Care delivered by registered childminders, either individually or in groups.
