Wraparound Care

 

What Is Wraparound Care?

 
Wraparound care refers to childcare provided before and after the school day to support families who may have work or other commitments.
 
It is different from after‑school clubs. After‑school clubs focus on enrichment activities, such as sports or creative learning.
 
Wraparound care focuses on ensuring children are safe, happy, and well looked after in a supportive environment outside normal school hours.
 

Our Approach

 
At St Charles Catholic Primary School, we aim to offer high‑quality, accessible, and affordable wraparound childcare.
 
Provision may be delivered by the school or by trusted external providers.
 
Please note: sharing external provider details does not constitute an endorsement, and the school does not receive financial benefit from any bookings.
