Consultation has concluded
Significant changes to early years and childcare provision are coming from April 2024. The government is increasing the age range of children that can access funded childcare as well as improving access to ‘wrap-around’ childcare for children aged 5-11 years during term time.
By 2026 most working parents will be able to access up to 30 hours per week funded childcare for children aged from 9 months up to when they start school.
In addition, ‘wrap-around’ provision will be strengthened where there is demand – this means term time childcare for school aged children aged 5-11 years before school (from 8am) and after school (until 6pm). Wrap-around provision can be with a school, with private, voluntary or independent provider or with a registered childminder.
The closing date for the survey is 2nd January 2024.
