Childcare Expansion Capital Grant and Wraparound Programme funding

About the Childcare Expansion Capital Grant and Wraparound Programme funding for registered early years providers.

Our Childcare Expansion Capital Grant and Wraparound Programme were available for applications from early years providers, that are either registered with OFSTED or a childminder agency. 

It was for providers who are: 

  • looking to expand their early years entitlement offer, and/or
  • wraparound childcare provision to parents and carers, or
  • work alongside primary schools to deliver wraparound childcare.

Childcare Expansion Capital Grant 

Funding is been provided to support projects that will increase the physical capacity of early years and wraparound provision. 

  • 30 hours entitlement places for children aged 9 months to 3 year olds and
  • wraparound provision for primary school aged children

Wraparound Programme funding 

Funding has been provided to make sure that there is sufficient childcare, such as breakfast and after-school clubs for working parents and carers who may require these provisions.

Deadlines for applications have now closed.

There may be further opportunities to submit a bid at a later stage for the Wraparound Programme funding. Arrangements for this will be published in due course.
