Delivery models for wraparound care

From September 2024, you can expect to see an increase in the number of wraparound childcare places available across the country.

Wraparound childcare is before and after school childcare, such as breakfast clubs and after school provision for primary school aged children in England.

The provision typically runs from 8am until 6pm, during term time, either on a school site or another local setting such as a community centre, a nursery, or a childminder.

This is different from out-of-school activities, or school clubs, which are less frequent and can be a one-off activity.
