Keyworker Provision Childcare Update
https://www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/newsroom/key-worker-childcare-provision-update
Pembrokeshire County Council childcare provision for children of key worker families will come to an end on Friday, 24th July.
The Authority has run childcare provision for key worker families since the start of lockdown, initially in schools and then in 21 childcare hubs across the county.
The provision returned to schools when schools re-opened on June 29th.
However, from Saturday, July 25th if you have a school-aged child, you should arrange summer childcare via your normal childcare provider.
If you have a child who is under four years-old (pre-school) you may be eligible for the Coronavirus Childcare Assistance Scheme (CCAS).
Funding is available until 31st August 2020 to support with the cost of registered childcare provision for vulnerable children and children of critical workers who must leave the home to carry out their work.
Under the CCAS a parent / guardian is eligible to receive Government-funded childcare if:
· They have a child or children, of pre-school age; and
· They are a critical worker – see eligibility here: https://gov.wales/coronavirus-critical-key-workers-test-eligibility)
Parents should only apply for childcare to cover their working hours; and if the child/children cannot be cared for by a spouse or other family members.
Evidence of eligibility of critical worker status will be required as part of the application process.
This can be a critical worker letter which includes the name and address of the applicant(s) or, if the letter does not include the name and address of the applicant, please supply a recent payslip.
For an application form to book a childcare place under the Coronavirus Childcare Assistance Scheme please contact: covid19childcarebookings@pembrokeshire.gov.uk
A confirmation will then be sent to you to confirm your child/children has/have a place.
It is very important that you do not turn up at the childcare settings if you have not received a confirmation email from us.
The Council has put measures in place to open a limited number of our registered childcare settings to provide CCAS funding.

Changes to School Hub Booking Systems
Changes to School Hub Booking Systems
Critical workers in Pembrokeshire whose children have been attending school hubs during the pandemic are being notified of changes to the current arrangements.
From the 22nd June onwards, children of critical workers who have been attending school hubs will return to their original schools.
Children from other families will return to school, if their parents wish, from the week beginning the 29th June as already announced by the Welsh Government. These children will be able to attend during school hours only. No after-school or extracurricular activities will be offered.
Booking forms have been distributed and must be completed and returned by 5pm on Thursday, 18th June to allow the information to be transferred to the school setting.
After this date the booking system will close.
Amendments to bookings from the 22nd of June and for the month of July will need to be made directly with the school.
Critical workers are asked to only book the days they require and to inform the booking team or school immediately if they no longer need childcare.
“I would like to personally thank you for all the hard work you have contributed towards the Covid 19 effort,” said Steven Richard-Downes, Acting Director for Children and Schools in a letter to the key workers.
“I hope the hub system we set up in Pembrokeshire assisted you all into impacting towards this.
“I am aware from the education staff and emails received from parents that many of the children have had a wonderful time in the hubs in such an unprecedented situation.
“Moving forward, I am sure you are in agreement that the children will enjoy returning to see their teachers and friends before the summer break and new term.”
Mr Richard-Downes added:
“If there are any changes to the dates, we will update you accordingly.”
