At Mawnan CE VA Primary School, we are committed to providing our families with flexible and affordable wraparound childcare that aligns with our school's vision and values. As a small, successful, and ambitious primary school we strive to offer an enriching and nurturing environment for all our children.
This childcare provision is an extension of Mawnan School and therefore operates in line with the school’s values, policies and high expectations of pupil behaviour.
We are excited to offer this flexible childcare alongside our existing extra-curricular activities, providing added convenience and peace of mind for our families. Our sessions have three timing options, with the option to book individual sessions or block bookings. We are committed to ensuring our wraparound care is both affordable and financially viable, and we will be regularly reviewing the timings and pricing to best meet the needs of our community.
Our session times and fees will be as follows:
| Session 1 | 3:15pm – 4:15pm | £5 |
| Session 2 | 4:15pm – 5:30pm | £5 |
| Session 3 | 5:30pm-6:00pm | £5 |

Some families may be eligible to use government childcare support schemes to help pay for Wraparound care. These include:
Tax-Free Childcare
Childcare for Service Children (Wraparound Childcare Scheme)
More information can be found here:
Tax-Free Childcare: https://www.gov.uk/tax-free-childcare
Childcare for Service Children: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/childcare-for-service-children
Tax-Free Childcare allows you to set up an account for your child and receive a government top-up towards childcare costs. For every £8 you pay in, the government adds £2, helping families save up to £2,000 per child per year.
The scheme can be used for approved childcare providers, including:
Breakfast Clubs
After-School / Wraparound Clubs
Holiday Clubs (not currently available at Mawnan)
The Wraparound Childcare (WAC) scheme supports families where a parent is serving in the Armed Forces by helping with the cost of before- and after-school childcare. It is generally available for children aged 4–11 who live with the serving parent and attend school.
Families must usually have an active Tax-Free Childcare account in order to claim the funding.
Childcare vouchers or payments are usually paid to parents through their employer or childcare account, and parents then transfer the payment to the school’s main bank account.
Please ensure you include your ParentPay reference number when making the payment so we can correctly credit it to your child’s Breakfast or Wraparound Club account on ParentPay.
Snacks
Ensuring our children are well-fed and energised is a key priority. During the wrap-around care, we provide a selection of healthy snacks at 3:30 pm and 4:30 pm (for those joining after enrichment clubs). This allows our children to refuel and recharge, so they can continue to enjoy thier time at wraparound.
The safety and well-being of our children are of the utmost importance. When collecting your child from our wraparound care, please use the main reception, and a member of the wraparound team will bring your child out to you. All parents and authorised adults will be required to sign out their child on the collection register before leaving the building.
The collection times are 4:15pm, 5:30pm or 6pm. Your child will then be brought out to you, please wait outside the reception area for your child unless invited in by a member of staff.
To ensure the safeguarding of our children, we reserve the right to refuse release to anyone not on the collection permission form, unless we have received prior email or verbal permission. We also expect all children to be collected promptly, with late pickups incurring additional charges.
Parents are expected to pick up on time. If a child is picked up late, ie: after 4.35pm or after 5.35pm the parent will be charged the full amount for the next session. The last pick-up and hand over times for after-school care is 6pm.
Please note that if a child is picked up after 6pm, there will be a £30 late fee charge applied to cover the cost of staffing.
