National wraparound programme – survey for providers
In the Spring Budget 2023, the government announced an investment of £289 million over two academic years for a national wraparound programme.
This is to support those families with primary aged children who need access to paid for wraparound childcare from 8am to 6pm. Parents should expect to see an expansion in the availability of wraparound childcare from September 2024. By 2026, all parents and carers of primary school-aged children who need it, will be able to access term time childcare that patents pay for in their local area from 8am – 6pm, so that they can access employment and improve the labour market participation.
We are asking for all childcare providers to provide up to date information about the wraparound childcare they offer by completing this short questionnaire (see link below) by Friday 3rd May 2024.
