The DfE have awarded the extension of the wraparound Childcare funding to March 2026. This means any school or private provider who opens a new childcare provision before March 2026, could receive at least one year’s funding. Find out more by attending one of our free briefing sessions which are open to schools, private or independent providers and childminders. Sessions will run in Jan, Feb and March.
