News, events and schools' information for families across Bath and West Wiltshire

Wiltshire Council has worked with local childminders and activity providers to create a childcare and activity directory to help parents find childcare during the Christmas school holidays.

The directory is now available to all parents looking for childcare during the holidays. It can be viewed on the Wiltshire Council website at wiltshire.gov.uk/early-years-and-childcare and scrolling down to Holiday childcare and activity directory. Parents can also email email hidden; JavaScript is required for details of providers in their area. There is a charge for all provision detailed in the directory.

Local providers have provided details of the activities they are offering, including charges, accessibility and location, to help parents plan how to keep their children busy during the Christmas holiday.

Wiltshire Council has asked all providers to ensure they have the necessary protocols and checks in place to enable them to adhere to the latest government guidance on social distancing. Parents are reminded to always thoroughly research any childcare provision themselves before booking places for their children.

Families are advised to keep up to date with latest government guidance as they plan their Christmas holidays.
