Warning of a Looming 'Funding Cliff Edge' in Out-of-School Childcare
Out-of-school childcare providers are warning of a looming 'funding cliff edge' next year due to rising provider costs and lack of a coordinated school-aged childcare strategy.
A new white paper launched by the School-Aged Childcare Association (SACA) and Junior Adventures Group UK (JAG UK) highlights the impact of childcare costs on parents' ability to work.
Thousands of childcare places could vanish when funding through the National Wraparound Childcare Programme ends in 2026, pushing more parents, especially mothers, out of the workforce!.
The paper acknowledges the Government's universal breakfast club initiative and continuation of the Holiday Activity Fund as positive steps, but emphasizes the need for a more coordinated approach to address the issue.
