Wraparound Care
It is with great excitement that we announce that Premier Education will be offering full wraparound care at Great Bentley from the start of the second half term of summer, June 2025. This means children can be fully catered for in school from 7.30am to 6.00pm daily every day the school is open (-the school day runs from 8.40am to 3.15pm, and before school care 7.30am to 8.40am and after-school care from 3.15pm to 6.00pm.)
Premier Education has been successful in delivering high quality provision in primary schools across the county for 20 years including physical education, holiday club care and extra-curricular sessions in sport and non-sporting activities.
In the last five years Premier Education have become experts in wraparound care, working closely with school improvement specialists B11, and with our enhanced, well-rounded, “healthy active” offer, more and more schools are choosing Premier Education to support and run their wraparound provision.
From June 2025, Premier Education Wraparound will run before and after school every school day throughout each term-time. Our aim is to create an outstanding safe, secure, and fun environment that children and parents can trust.
Some of the benefits of Premier Wraparound care compared to other providers include:
- Access to a wider range of activities for children from gymnastics to gardening.
- A simple online booking system where parents book and receive instant email confirmation to easily track any bookings and reduce administration.
- A fully responsive office support team who will be ready to take any calls, queries and reply to emails with a quick turnaround between 9 am to 5 pm daily.
- Bookings available up to lunch time on the day of the session in case of any last-minute changes of plan.
- Increased siblings discount and offers.

As with anything new, we know that as a parent or carer you will have several questions. Below are a number of common FAQ’s we have received when taking over at various settings over the past few years:
Q. We know Premier traditionally as a sports provider, what if my child isn’t particularly sporty?
A. The care will not just be made up of sporting activities. We will have a mixture of staff who all have a lot of experience working with primary school children in similar environments. Sports, and performing arts activity professionals will work alongside our Play Workers, to ensure a wide range of other activities will be available each day, including sports, performing arts, free play, reading cooking, arts & crafts plus more.
Q. Will Premier be taking payments via childcare vouchers?
A. Yes, we will be. as soon as we have our Ofsted registration number and an easy step by step guide of how to book online and inform your childcare provider can be provided.
Q. What is ‘Flexi Booking’?
A. Flexi booking is our unique insurance policy for parents if they need to change a booking. By paying £3.50 when making bookings, you will be able to receive a no questions asked refund if you need to cancel any sessions. One payment covers all bookings made at that time.
