|
|
set up to help families where parents work. Out of school services can be registered
|
|
with the local authority and inspected each year. They are run outside school hours
|
|
by a team of staff, usually called playworkers. Activities should be planned to
|
|
help children learn, play and relax with their friends. Playworkers will often pick
|
|
children up from local schools. There are different types of out of school services
|
|
so look around to find one that suits you and your child.</p><p>

</ul><h4>How do I know my child will be safe and secure?</h4><p>First of all you know your child best - look for an out of school
|
|
service you feel will be suitable for your child. Out of school services registered
|
|
with Ofsted Early Years are checked to make sure the staff are suitable to look
|
|
after children. At least half of them must be trained and there are rules on the
|
|
ratio of staff to children depending on the ages of the children catered for. A
|
|
check is also done on the premises of the out of school service to ensure it is
|
|
safe and suitable for children. After the out of school service is registered an
|
|
annual inspection is carried out to ensure a safe and suitable service is being
|
|
provided. Some out of school services do not currently need to be registered, for
|
|
example, those which only cater for children aged over eight. You can ask if they
|
|
are registered.</p><h4>How many children will there be?</h4><p>Most out of school services provide places for between 10 and
|
|
40 children although some are smaller and others are larger.</p><h4>What age range of children will be there?</h4><p>Most children attending out of school services are aged between
|
|
5 and 11. Some services provide places for three and four year olds to fit around
|
|
nursery or pre-school education. Some services provide places geared for older children
|
|
aged 10-14.</p><h4>When will services be open?</h4><p>Out of school services can open before school and care for children
|
|
after school until about 6pm.</p><p>During the school holidays they are likely to be open between

|

|
</p><h4>What about part-time childcare?</h4><p>Many out of school services will be happy to offer you part-time
|
|
childcare. You may need to book regular sessions to make sure a place is available
|
|
when you need it.</p><h4>How much will it cost?</h4><p>You can expect to pay between <span class="gen">enter amount</span> per child per week for an after school childcare

|
place and <span class="gen">enter amount</span>
|

per child per week for a place at a holiday playscheme.</p><span class="gen">email address here</span><span class="gen">phone number here</span><span class="gen">sms phone number here</span><span class="gen">fax number here</span><span class="gen">minicom number here</span><span class="gen">postal address here</span><h3>
