Extension to wraparound childcare provision

Following the DfE announcement in Spring 2023, colleagues will be aware of the intention to extend wraparound childcare from 8am to 6pm for school aged children from reception to year six by September 2026.

In order to plan exactly where provision is needed it is important the Local Authority has a good picture of what schools are currently offering either themselves or through third party provision on or off site to pupils of the school.

From week commencing Monday 6 November schools will be receiving a call on behalf of KCC from a Childcare Sufficiency Officer (CSO) in The Education People asking a few key questions and we are really keen for every school to engage in these conversations.
