flag Hertfordshire schools offer extended childcare to support working families, with most meeting national standards.

flag Most primary schools in Hertfordshire now offer wraparound childcare, with 352 of 406 mainstream schools providing services meeting government standards, thanks to a £289 million national funding initiative. flag The program has created 10,728 childcare places, allowing parents to drop off children as early as 8 a.m. and pick them up as late as 6 p.m. flag While 39 schools offer care that meets local needs but not the government’s strict definition, five schools lack sufficient demand to support the service. flag Officials note flexibility is allowed based on local demand, with various models used to best serve communities, aiming to support working families with accessible, extended childcare options.
