A toolkit for providers of Wraparound Childcare, Breakfast Clubs and Holidays Activities and Food Programmes
An interactive digital toolkit developed to support schools, private, voluntary and independent (PVI) providers, childminders, and local authorities in creating inclusive wraparound provision that is accessible to families of primary aged children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This includes breakfast clubs, afterschool childcare and holiday provision.
This toolkit was first published here in April 2025.
The guidance contained in this toolkit is aimed at increasing inclusivity for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) across all settings providing primary school-aged childcare provision. Providers can use this toolkit to reflect on current practice within their setting and consider manageable actions they can take to improve the experience of all children, particularly those with additional needs.
The toolkit provides comprehensive insights on the following themes:
- An introduction to SEND
- Legal duties and statutory requirements
- Developing inclusive environments
- Creating high-quality provision
- Working in partnership
- Food handling and preparation
- Developing the workforce
