After School Clubs
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if her Department will make an estimate of the number of families that are unable to reclaim prepaid fees when an after-school club ceases trading.
- Answer
-
The department does not hold this information.
The Childcare Act 2006 places a duty on local authorities to make sure that there are enough childcare places within its locality for working parents, or for parents who are studying or training for employment, for children aged 0 to 14, or up to 18 for disabled children. In the unlikely event that a parent's childcare provider becomes insolvent or goes bankrupt, parents can contact their local authority who can provide guidance and resources to help them transition to a new provider.
