Staying positive... while staying at home Benefits advice - Citizens Advice Oldham Free school meals and Easter Over the two weeks of Easter our catering service will be on site to provide packed lunches but there will be no voucher scheme - as the Government haven’t supplied money for this. After Easter the system will return to catering staff providing packed lunches on site and the voucher scheme start again - with a total of £15 per week available. Each school is administering its own voucher scheme and so enquiries should be directed to them in the first instance. Oldham foodbanks also are available for those in critical need. On Good Friday and Easter Monday schools will be open, staffed by volunteering school staff, although what is offered may be slightly different. Early Years settings for very young children If you are a key worker with a child aged 0-5 and you need childcare provision or your childcare has closed, please visit our list of childcare providers (which we are constantly updating) for telephone numbers to check availability. List of childcare providers. Please note the list does not include childminders. If you would like to enquire about childminder availability then please email familyinfo@oldham.gov.uk with your full contact details (including postcode) and information about the type of childcare you require including dates and times. All other children should be cared for at home during this period.
