Wraparound care
Wraparound care should be available every school day, before and after school, outside of school hours. It aims to help parents and carers work the hours they want to, with access to regular childcare.
Wraparound care can be delivered in many ways, including:
- school based provision delivered by the school
- school based provision delivered by a private provider
- off school site provision operated by a private provider
- childminders who pick up the child up from school, and drop them off at school
