Whilst at this moment we are still open, we do advise any parent of a child with a known health condition, for example epilepsy, to consider keeping them at home. We will obviously approve this absence. Any other child whose parents feel they want to keep their child at home due to the weather and how this may impact their health/wellbeing are free to do so.

Parent and Carer School Age Childcare Survey
9th Jun 2026

School Age Childcare Survey The need for childcare does not stop when children reach school-age, we know that families continue to need childcare before and after school, and during the school holidays. As a result, the Department for Education is taking a strategic approach to the future of School Aged Childcare (SAC) which builds on the successes of programmes such as the National Wraparound Childcare programme, the Holidays Activities and Food programme (HAF) and the national rollout of the Free Breakfast Club programme, to ensure families are supported, year-round, by an outstanding SAC system. The Education People’s Early Years and Childcare Service is conducting a survey on behalf of Kent County Council, of parents and carers to determine their term time and holiday childcare requirement for children aged 0-14 and up to 18 for disabled children. The information will help us assess if there are any gaps in provision and how best to meet the needs of all families.
