Premier Education wraparound care: the solution to before and after-school care
If you’re a working parent of a primary school aged child, gone are the days of coordinating the school runs around work – or vice versa. Why? Because schools all over the UK are having to offer wraparound childcare by 2026.
For you, this means the ability to drop your child off at school earlier, allowing you to get to work. It also means that at the end of the school day, your youngster stays on until you’re ready to collect them.
As the UK’s largest provider of wraparound care in the UK, our experienced team keeps your child safe and gets them ready for the day ahead before the school day starts and helps them let off any additional steam at the end of the day!
No More Having To Work Condensed Days
Wraparound care means you have more flexibility in working the hours you want to work. It may be that you’ve had to reduce your hours since your child started school, in order to fit in with the school day. Before and after school care means you no longer have to worry about juggling school runs – or commit to expensive childminders.
What’s Wraparound Care All About?
The Best Start To The Day
Typically, breakfast clubs run from 7:45 – 8:45am and allow children to enjoy a positive start to the day. With fun activities built into every session, your child will be raring to go as soon as it’s time for lessons to start. We even provide a healthy, balanced breakfast to make sure brains and bodies have the right fuel for the day ahead.
A Fun Way To End The Day
Our after-school sessions run from the end of school to 6:00pm. Our sessions always offer children a variety of activities, so whether they have excess energy still to burn or would prefer some quiet time for reading or homework, we cater for every need.
And there’s no need to worry about rumbling tummies, we make sure all children have a tasty and nutritious snack to keep them going until tea time.
