Wraparound care (before and after school clubs)

In Hampshire there is a range of Ofsted registered or approved group settings, school led provision and childminders providing wraparound childcare, before and after school.

Wraparound childcare providers:

  • provide safe and stimulating play opportunities for school age children at times when schools are not open, typically 8am-6pm around the school day.
  • can operate before school (‘breakfast clubs’) in the mornings, and from the end of the school day (‘after school clubs’). In addition, some operate during the school holidays.
  • typically operate for infant, junior and primary schools (age 4-11)
  • include Ofsted registered childminders
  • can include on or off school site provision.

You can read more about help with paying for childcare on the Hampshire County Council website.

Providers that have this badge attached to their listing are engaged with the Services for Young Children childcare development team by submitting self-assessments of their wraparound provision.

Wraparound Quality Committed badge

Providers that have this badge attached to their listing are engaged with the Services for Young Children childcare development team by submitting self-assessments of their wraparound provision.

This self-assessment includes:

  • the quality of activities on offer and the child’s voice
  • inclusion and safeguarding procedures
  • staff development
  • health and wellbeing opportunities
  • partnerships with school leaders and parents/carers
  • environment and sustainability

This badge does not guarantee the quality of the provision. Parents and carers must decide whether a club meets their child’s needs.
