Broom Farm

About our Wrap Around Care

Our Broom Farm wraparound provision is proudly based on the Broom Farm military estate and is exclusively available to service families. Located in the Poppies building at the heart of the estate, our setting is easily accessible, providing convenient, trusted care within the community it serves.

We offer before- and after-school provision with safe collections from Alexander First School, Homer First School, and Dedworth Green First School, ensuring children are supported throughout the school day. Designed to meet the unique needs of military families, our provision offers a familiar, secure environment where children can thrive, build friendships, and enjoy structured, enriching activities close to home.

By being based directly on the estate, we provide families with reassurance, flexibility, and continuity of care within a supportive military community.

Supporting Service Families

At 360 Vision, we are proud to support service families and recognise the unique challenges that military life can bring. Frequent relocations, deployments, and changing schedules can place additional pressures on both parents and children, making reliable, understanding childcare essential.

We are committed to providing a safe, consistent, and nurturing environment where children from service families feel secure, valued, and supported. Our team understands the importance of routine, stability, and positive relationships, helping children build confidence, resilience, and friendships within their community.

By offering high-quality wraparound care within military estates and working closely with families, we aim to reduce stress for parents and provide reassurance that their children are cared for by a trusted provider who understands service life. Supporting service families is not just part of what we do - it is central to our values.

Funding & Payment Information for Service Families

For service families using our Broom Farm wraparound provision, childcare costs must be paid using Tax-Free Childcare. As an OFSTED-registered provider, 360 Vision is eligible to accept Tax-Free Childcare payments.

Service families should be aware that childcare costs are not paid directly through JPA. Instead, the process works as follows:

  • Book and pay for sessions using Tax-Free Childcare
    Payments for wraparound care must be made through your Tax-Free Childcare account and applied via our booking and payment systems.
  • Retain your payment records
    Once payment has been made, you can download or keep confirmation of payments as evidence.
  • Claim childcare support back through JPA
    Eligible service personnel can then submit a claim through JPA in line with current MOD childcare support policies.

This process ensures families can access both Tax-Free Childcare and MOD childcare support, while allowing us to manage bookings and payments accurately and compliantly.

If you are unsure about eligibility or need help setting up Tax-Free Childcare, Pebble, or Poncho Pay, our team is happy to support you and guide you through each step.
