How much does WHGS wraparound care cost?
All parents are eligible for support with their childcare costs, and we hope that families will access these schemes to minimise the amount that they pay.
To secure 20% off your fees:
The vast majority of parents can access Tax Free Childcare support from the government, which will reduce the amount you pay by 20%. You can find out how this works here.
To secure (up to) 85% off your fees:
Families eligible for Free School Meals can access the Universal Credit Reclaim Scheme (UCRS), which will reduce the amount you pay by up to 85%.

Our commitment to you – a reliable, professional childcare service
We understand that you need childcare that is high quality, reliable and safe. Our staff team will be of the same high standard as our existing school staff, ensuring the schools standards and Respect, Ambition and Compassion will be maintained. You can rely on the club to be open every day of the school year, and to have the availability to support your childcare needs. Children will be expertly looked after from the moment they arrive in club, to the moment they leave.
As part of providing a professional childcare service, we are delighted to be partnering with Childcare Bookings for Schools, who will be supporting us with all of the booking, payment & admin associated with the club. In addition to a dedicated administrator to support our parents, available 9-5pm, year-round, Childcare Bookings have a booking system that will give you 24/7 access to book, pay and review your childcare.
We will be writing to you again shortly with further details and welcoming you to register an account, and book your childcare.
Once again, we are delighted to be able to offer this service for our community, and will be writing to you again later in June to tell you more about the structure of the club, the exciting activities the children can look forward to, and our food offering. In the meantime, please look out for our next letter when we will be opening bookings.
Please do share our exciting news with other families in the school community, or those considering WHGS for their children in the future.
