This programme seeks to establish a state-funded Breakfast Club in every primary school in England, providing both food and childcare. This provision will support the Department's objectives to support children's achievement and help parents access childcare. The Department plans to run an extensive market engagement process in the coming months, giving a broad range of suppliers across a number of relevant markets the opportunity to offer valuable insight into the future development of this programme. This market engagement will run alongside other engagement aimed at schools and stakeholders. As part of this process, we are interested in gathering insight from suppliers and organisations of all sizes in the following areas, including industry bodies: - School food and catering providers - Food producers and wholesalers - Existing breakfast club providers/sponsors or those interested in learning more about supporting the programme - Supermarkets interested in supporting Breakfast Clubs provision - Childcare Providers in the private, voluntary and independent sectors We will use a number of different routes to gather feedback and insight, including questionnaires and in-depth sessions. For suppliers interested in finding out more, please indicate your interest via the online form below.
