How much do you pay for wraparound care? I’m panicking

Lone parent, no help, going to have to pay for wraparound care from as early as possible and late as possible. Does anyone know what this costs roughly? I have enquired at a couple of schools but they refused to discuss costs unless I was considering the school and had applied or looked round etc and I didn’t want to lie! Dc is only 3 but I am so worried about what’s to come

Why? The staff running the after school clubs, the overheads etc have to be paid.

If entitled to UC you can claim some back as long as it is Ofsted registered.
