Welcome to the Wraparound Toolkit
This toolkit has been created to collate useful resources you need to start, grow and sustain a wraparound childcare business.
The resources are split into six categories
- Business Planning
- Running of Your Childcare Provision
- Business Growth
- Leadership and Management
- Partnership Working
- SEND and Inclusive Practice
Every resource listed on this page is available free of charge. We have collated information from childcare membership organisations, Government and Government funded organisations, banks, and specialist organisations.
Whatever stage your business, from small start-up to national chain, you will find information relevant to running your childcare business on these pages.
Start Up: If you are just starting out, these resources are for you. They will help you navigate your way through creating business structure, registering with Ofsted, recruiting staff for the first time, promoting your business, and working in partnership with schools and parents.
Growth: This category includes tools and resources for organisations that are ready for the next stage of their development – whether that is growing from one site to multiple, or for providers who already operate across multiple sites.
Sustain: These resources are for organisations, large and small, which are looking for ways to improve their existing provision.
