You decide whether to run a breakfast club
However, parents have the right to request breakfast and after-school clubs, and holiday childcare.
You aren’t obliged to grant requests for wraparound childcare, but you:
- Must act reasonably when dealing with requests
- Should be transparent about the process you choose to follow when granting or rejecting them
Take the wishes of parents into account when considering offering extended services. Try running a breakfast club on a trial basis to see how popular and how feasible it is to run the club long-term.
Childcare providers can also request to use school facilities to provide wraparound and holiday childcare when they're not in use by the school.
Read up on how to respond to such requests in the DfE’s guidance wraparound and holiday childcare: responding to requests.
