Early education (EYFS), childcare and wraparound childcare

The teams in the Early Years and Childcare Service can support all settings that provide early years foundation stage provision or school-age childcare to meet statutory requirements and support high-quality provision.

Wraparound childcare is before and after school care for primary school aged children during term time, such as regular afterschool provision that runs until at least 5.30pm or later. The childcare should be available every school day outside of regular school hours and is aimed at helping parents access more childcare, and to work or attend training for the hours they want to.
