Who pays for wraparound childcare?

Parents will still be expected to pay to access this provision, as this programme aims to increase the availability of childcare rather than subsidise childcare.

Support with the cost will continue to be available to eligible parents through tax-free childcare (covering 20% of costs up to £2k a year, or £4k a year for children with disabilities) or the childcare element of Universal Credit (support for up to 85% subsidy of their costs).
