DfE will be holding two events to support the involvement of PVI providers in the new national wraparound childcare programme. This includes small or large private wraparound providers as well as early years providers and nurseries who offer, or would like to offer, wraparound care for primary school age children. These events will take place on the following dates;
The events will provide an opportunity to share best practice, with case studies and discussions around different delivery models. Childcare Works will be outlining the support on offer to providers. Speakers from DfE and other departments will also be in attendance.
If you wish to attend one of these events you can register by accessing the following link https://orcula.com/dfe-national-wraparound-programme---provider-workshops/register
Each event is limited to approximately 100 places, therefore DfE ask that only one person is in attendance from each provider. Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
The event is free to attend and lunch/refreshments will be provided. Please be aware that any travel costs would need to be met by the provider.
If you have any questions regarding the events themselves or this request, please email [email protected].
