Wraparound Care

We are pleased to offer wraparound care for children across all year groups, providing a welcoming, home-from-home environment where children can relax, play and enjoy time with their friends after the school day.

All wraparound care and after-school club bookings must be made through the MCAS app.

Our Wraparound Provision

Breakfast Club
Monday to Friday, 7.30am–8.30am

A relaxed start to the school day, with children able to enjoy breakfast and time with their friends before school begins.

Wraparound Care
Monday to Friday, 3.15pm–4.15pm
Available for all year groups.

Children can choose how they spend their time, whether that's getting creative with Hama beads, bracelet making and drawing, building with construction toys, enjoying small-world play, creating cosy blanket forts, reading or simply spending time with friends.

On Fridays, children can also enjoy our popular Film Club, with popcorn and a family-friendly film shown over several weeks.

After-School Clubs
Monday to Friday, 3.15pm–4.15pm
Available for children in Year 2 and above.

Our after-school clubs provide children with the opportunity to explore different interests, develop new skills and have fun with their friends.

Clubs change throughout the year, giving children opportunities to try new activities and discover new interests.

5.00pm–5.30pm

Home from Home provides a happy, nurturing environment where children can unwind at the end of their school day.

Booking and Payment

All wraparound care must be booked through the MCAS app.

We ask that wraparound sessions are paid for at least 24 hours before the session starts. Home from Home Extended must be booked at least 7 days in advance.

We understand that families may prefer different ways of managing their childcare payments. We recommend settling your wraparound account monthly, particularly if you use Universal Credit childcare support or Tax-Free Childcare.

If your family is experiencing financial difficulty, please contact the school office via Dojo so that we can discuss how we may be able to support you.

Universal Credit

If you receive Universal Credit, you may be able to claim back up to 85% of your eligible childcare costs.

Once your sessions have taken place and you have paid the balance, you can download your payment information from MCAS and upload this to your Universal Credit account to make your claim.

We recommend making your wraparound bookings as normal throughout the month and then paying your total balance at the end of the month. This means you can upload one payment receipt alongside an overview of your previous month's bookings and your child's information.

Tax-Free Childcare

If you are a working household and do not receive Universal Credit, you may be entitled to a Tax-Free Childcare account.

With Tax-Free Childcare, the government adds £2 for every £8 you pay into your childcare account, providing an additional 20% towards eligible childcare costs.

If you choose to use Tax-Free Childcare, you will need to provide the school with your child's reference code the first time you use the scheme. Payments are received and processed by our finance team and cannot be applied to your child's account without the correct reference code.

We check for Tax-Free Childcare payments several times each month and apply them to the relevant child's account.

Both Universal Credit childcare support and Tax-Free Childcare can be used throughout the year towards eligible childcare costs, including school wraparound provision and school holiday childcare.

If you need a letter confirming that your child attends Launceston Primary School, please contact the school office via Dojo and we can arrange this for you.

Questions or Support

If you have any questions about booking, payment or using childcare support schemes, please contact the school office via Dojo and we will be happy to help.
