Delivery models for wraparound care

Example delivery models could include the following and there may well be overlap between some of these models:

School-led provision delivered by school staff on a school site

Provision that operates on school premises, managed by staff employed directly by a school. The provision is open to all children in that school.

Private provider-led provision, on or off school site

Provision that is operated and delivered by staff employed by a private provider. If based on a school site, the private provider may rent space from the school to be able to operate provision. Provision could also be operated on another site rather than on school premises.

Community/cluster model

A community-focused model with children from multiple schools attending provision on one site. This could be operated by a lead school, a private provider, a community organisation or any other appropriate body.

Childminders

Provision delivered by childminders (registered with Ofsted or a childminder agency), which schools and local authorities signpost to. This could consist of a group of childminders working together on a single site or childminders working individually from their homes.

Early years providers

Provision delivered by early years providers which may take school aged children during wraparound hours. For example, a local nursery or a pre-school operating on or off a school site may run the provision before and after school hours.
