Blog: Childcare Offer for Wales
What does the Childcare Offer mean to your Out of School Childcare Club? Do you think that the offer does not affect you?
Maybe your setting is not an Out of School Childcare Club, however there are a number of tips below which will apply to your provision.
All CIW registered childcare settings are able to deliver the Offer. Eligible parents will be able to use the childcare element of the Offer at any CIW registered childcare setting, whether inside or outside of their residing county, provided the setting has signed up to the offer.
What difference would £3,510.00 additional income make to your After School Club? Or what difference would £1,215 additional income make to your Holiday Club?
Do we have your attention?
- Offering a place to an eligible child WILL mean greater sustainability for your club
- Offering a place to an eligible child may attract parents/carers to book places for siblings
Do not dismiss the Childcare Offer as not being applicable to your club. Contact us to see how it can help make your setting more sustainable.
