  • Parents will be able to access 30 minutes of free childcare at the start of the school day as the Government pushes ahead with its rollout of breakfast clubs in England. Applications are now open for 750 state schools with primary aged-pupils to join the "early adopter scheme", with the first breakfast clubs expected to be running from April.

The article from DevonLive discusses the support available for families in Devon during the school holidays, focusing on the provision of free childcare and meals. It highlights that children eligible for free school meals can receive vouchers worth £15 per week during holidays, aimed at helping families manage food costs when school is out. Additionally, the article mentions the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, which offers free activities and meals to children who receive benefits-related free school meals. This initiative not only provides nutritional support but also engages children in physical, creative, and educational activities. The piece also touches on the broader context of the cost of living crisis, emphasizing the importance of such programs in alleviating some financial pressures on families.
