answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2020 answer text <p>As outlined in the guidance for education and childcare settings on the new national restrictions from 5 November 2020, providers of out-of-school activities, including wraparound care, can continue to operate for the duration of the period of national restrictions. However, these providers should ensure that parents using them for face-to-face provision are only doing so where such is reasonably necessary, in order to: enable them to work or search for work; undertake training or education; or for the purposes of respite care.

This includes activities and clubs related to PE and sport, music, dance and drama.</p><p>The department does not hold a central register of all wraparound or extracurricular provision, and so does not routinely collect data on attendance at these settings. However, the department has been in close communication with various stakeholders, including several wraparound childcare providers and extra-curricular providers, since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak. We will continue this communication during the period of national restrictions, to understand the impact on attendance and number of hours children and young people are spending at these settings.</p> answering member constituency Chelmsford answering member printed Vicky Ford grouped question UIN 113660 question first answered 16/11/2020 11:44:30 answering member 4674 label Biography information for Vicky Ford
