What is wraparound childcare?

How is it different from an after-school activity club?
An after-school activity club may focus on a particular activity, such as sport, art or study, and may only run on selected days.
Wraparound childcare is designed to provide more regular care around the school day. It may include a mixture of supervised play, educational activities, quiet time and opportunities for children to socialise.
Parents should check directly with each provider to understand what is included.
