Childcare

Wraparound childcare has expanded for primary school children in North Tyneside. We have increased the number of places available to support working families.

What is wraparound childcare?

Wraparound childcare is before and after school care for primary school aged children during term time. It is regular provision that generally runs from 8am until 6pm, but may vary to meet local needs.

This is different from out-of-school activities or school clubs.

How do I find wraparound childcare near me?

You should speak to your childs school or look at the directory and select 'wraparound childcare'.

There are no eligibility criteria for accessing new wraparound childcare places.

Please talk to your child's school about your need for wraparound childcare, even if it's not currently available.

How much will it cost and is financial support available?

Providers will set their own fees for wraparound places, so prices will vary.  Parents and guardians will pay the provider directly for their child’s place.
