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 was available for applications from early years providers, registered with OFSTED or a childminder agency. 

It was for providers who: 

  • were looking to expand their early years' entitlement offer
  • provide wraparound childcare to parents and carers
  • work alongside primary schools to deliver wraparound childcare

Childcare Expansion Capital Grant 

The grant supports projects that will increase the physical capacity of early years to provide:

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

Wraparound Programme funding 

The funding helps to ensure sufficient childcare is available. Such as; breakfast and after-school clubs for working parents and carers who may need 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.
