Holiday playschemes operate following government guidance.
A limited number of free places are available for vulnerable children at each holiday playscheme. Professionals and practitioners should apply direct to providers to enquire about a place for a child they are supporting.
Parents can apply direct to schemes to enquire about fees and availability for childcare places.
