Wraparound refers to the government funded scheme to support before and after schools care which supports families to work and children to have great experiences outside of school. However we consider the sector to be anyone caring for school age children outside of the school day (remembering children are aged up to 18 when we talk about children and young people with SEND and safeguarding).  Out of school providers could be for example;

• Breakfast clubs run at a school or off the premises 
• After school clubs run at a school or off the premises 
• Holiday Clubs
• Leisure, outdoor or creative activities delivering Holiday Activity and Food sessions (HAF)
• Short Breaks provision
• Services offered by childminders
• Informal clubs and groups which meet after school and are not part of the school provision which may include faith based activities 

Out of School Activities could be run by a number of different providers for example private owners, charities, childminders, schools, voluntary groups etc, and often meet a number of family needs as well as offering some great experiences for children, for example enabling families to work, or simply having a break.
