Holiday Club - Silkysteps early years forum

Noticed that there is a Holiday Club run by the church in the pavilion for 4-11 year olds,parents leaving their children for 3 hours. Do Ofsted have to be imformed? does the hall have to be inspected? Are there any regulations?
Would love to hear any thoughts as I have some but maybe I am too careful!

Hi Chloe

yes any childcare for under 8s needs to be registered if over 2 hours long as far as I am aware and should register and be inspected also.

Yeah thats right, if the holiday clubs for more than 2 hours you have to be registered, and follow the out of school standards. We've just got our holiday club inspected, so we can now take children for more than 2 hours..
