CHILDCARE provision which has been in place since the beginning of this week (March 30) will continue during the Easter school holidays, it has been confirmed.

Flintshire Council has said the arrangement - including Bank Holidays - involves childcare for key workers and vulnerable learners.

The authority will continue to operate the “hub” system of strategically located primary, secondary and special school hubs, close to major traffic routes in both urban and rural areas.

There are 12 area hubs made up of 22 school sites.

School buildings have been chosen due to their location, their size and their classroom layout, and also to ensure a spread of provision across the county within easy reach.

For information on these hubs, visit the council's school closures page.

School transport and free school meals will continue to operate as they have done during the week commencing March 30.

This will continue until further notice and includes bank holidays.

A council spokesman said: "We do ask, where possible, that parents arrange home to school transport of their own child/children to and from the Hub they will be attending.

"However, where this is not possible, transport can be provided."
