Extended services gives parents and carers access to affordable 8am-6pm “wraparound” childcare and holiday activities. If your child requires specialist support from other services schools can provide “quick and easy referral” to those services. Childcare provision in or through schools will support you if you are working or if you are studying or training to return to work.

Schools are typically at the heart of the community they serve and are ideally placed to offer a range of services and activities that can have a positive impact on children, young people and families.

• Wraparound childcare
  
  
• Menu of activities
  
  
• Swift and easy access to specialist services
  
  
• Parental support
  
  
• Community access
