Schools could give parents termly windows to lodge requests for on-site wraparound childcare provision, new government guidance suggests.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt outlined an “ambition” in 2022 for all primary schools to provide childcare on their site, with £289 million funding to implement the scheme.
Ahead of its nationwide launch in September, the Department for Education has today published guidance to help schools and academies understand how to respond to requests for more provision.
(NOTE: This is the third publication of guidance on the scheme. Advice for councils we’ve already covered here, and wider advice for schools covered here).
