Information for childcare providers offering childcare and wraparound provision for school-age children in breakfast clubs, after-school clubs or holiday clubs
Schools and local childcare providers can provide wraparound and/or holiday care independently or by joining forces and working together.
The wraparound childcare funding application for 2024 to 2026 is now open and we're welcoming applications from primary schools and childcare providers within Brighton & Hove.
If you would like to apply for wraparound childcare funding to develop new or expand your existing wraparound childcare provision, send an email to WraparoundChildcare@brighton-hove.gov.uk for more information.
Childcare inclusion funding is available to support children with Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to attend school run and Ofsted-registered childcare.
The funding is intended to support changes to the childcare provision to enable the child to access the service. This might include purchasing specialist equipment, accessing staff training or supporting staffing. This is not intended to pay for the service - parents must pay the fee for attending the childcare.

To apply, complete the relevant application form.
Applications must be made jointly by the childcare provider and parent or carer.
