Childcare
High-quality childcare can enhance learning and give parents more time to work or study
The core offer requires all primary and special schools to offer access to high-quality, Ofsted-registered childcare from 8am to 6pm (depending on demand), five days a week, 48 weeks a year.
Secondary schools do not have to offer formal childcare, although some choose to do so to support families or enable parents to use other extended services. Many schools offer breakfast clubs.
