Central Bedfordshire Council has created over 1,000 extra places at wraparound childcare clubs, giving more families access to before and after school support.
The Council is making £100,000 of funding available for its Children’s Centre Crisis Fund, an initiative designed to support families facing unexpected financial difficulties.
Data from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has shown an increase in the number of families in Central Bedfordshire who are taking advantage of the government’s Tax-Free Childcare scheme.
Young carers from Central Bedfordshire were treated to a series of exciting and well-deserved activities over Easter, providing them with a much-needed break from their caring responsibilities.
We have been selected as an ‘early adopter’ of the government’s National Wraparound Childcare Programme, ahead of the national launch in September 2024.
