National Wraparound Childcare Programme

The government have announced they are continuing to prioritise the ambition for every primary aged child to have access to wraparound childcare at or close to school. See below https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/wraparound-childcare-guidance-for-schools 

Grant funding is available through the LA to support the development of new before and/or after school places or to increase the number of places available or opening times to meet government criteria. Funding has currently only been confirmed until April 2025 so if you are considering applying please do so as soon as possible. 

The wraparound team can offer advice on setting up provision and will support you with your grant application. Please email the team at wraparoundchildcare@oxfordshire.gov.uk for further information.
