Wraparound Care support to schools

Our team of education consultants includes those with expertise in supporting childcare provision in school, whether this is delivered by an external provider or by school staff. We can also support early years settings such as nurseries and childcare on non-domestic premises. As with all B11 services, our experts will tailor their service to meet your need, whether this is an external review to map the quality of provision pre-inspection or monitor progress towards areas for improvement or providing regular support to help meet part of your development plan.

Whether you are already providing wraparound care or considering the options to provide it in future, B11 can help you ensure that the quality of provision meets the same high expectations you have for children during the school day.

Do you already provide wraparound care? 

Wherever you are within the inspection cycle, we can provide a robust external evaluation of your provision. Our developmental review can cover the full scope of an inspection to highlight areas of strength and those that may require improvement. Throughout this, we can work alongside leaders to do joint evaluation activities, provide constructive feedback, share findings and to suggest precise next steps to support improvement.

This review can be followed up by staff development sessions, coaching or other improvement support to help you prepare for the next inspection or to address areas for improvement that have already been identified.

Are you a busy leader and not sure how to offer the wraparound childcare model at your school?
