More free breakfast clubs in Devon than in any other area in the country!
=========================================================================

Delivering on promises made to working parents in the government’s manifesto, all primary aged children in early adopter schools will be able to access a free breakfast and at least 30 minutes of free childcare, every day, helping to support parents getting into work by dropping their children off half an hour earlier.

Guidance is in place [Breakfast clubs early adopter guidance for schools and trusts in England – GOV.UK](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/breakfast-clubs-early-adopter-guidance-for-schools-and-trusts-in-england), new breakfast clubs should fit with the wider wraparound offer in a school. For example, if a school or PVI currently delivers before school childcare for a school from 8am until school starts at 9am, this should continue’. We expect to see different models across the county and our service will be at hand to support schools and providers with these new developments.
