Sue Robb of 4Children talks to Julie Laughton and Alison Britton from the Department for Education about the role of childminders in delivering the 30 hours free entitlement.
Children and Families Minister Vicky Ford has announced that thousands of children in disadvantaged areas in England will be offered nutritious breakfasts in the next two academic years.
Family Action has been confirmed by the Department for Education as the delivery partner for the National School Breakfast Programme, and, backed by up to £24 million of government investment, Family Action will source and deliver breakfast food products to schools from September, and through the programme support up to 2,500 schools between 2021-22 and 2022-23.
Ford said: “The National School Breakfast Programme is a fantastic scheme, helping some of the most disadvantaged children across the country kick start their day with a good, healthy meal, which can be so important in helping their concentration and behaviour during the school day.
“Family Action will lead this delivery in schools, backed by our £24 million investment, meaning hundreds of thousands of children can benefit from breakfast clubs over the next two years – I encourage all eligible schools to sign up.”
Thousands of children will also continue to benefit from the Holiday Activities and Food programme, expanded nationally this year with a £220 million investment, which will continue this summer in every local authority across England free for children eligible for free school meals.
