Out of School Services
Out of school services are for school-age children to play and learn and have fun in groups. In Brent they are
in schools, at community centres or in parks and sports centres.
Registration with the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted)
From September 2008, childcare providers must join the early years register if they care for children up to the
end reception class age or the compulsory childcare register if they care for children aged 5 to under 8 years.
They may join Ofsted’s voluntary register if they only care for children over 8 years or they provide after
school activities that do not count as childcare. They do not register with Ofsted if they are provided by a
school on school premises but parents who are eligible for the childcare element of Working Tax Credit may
claim for childcare at after school provision in schools.
Ask at your child’s school to find out what services they provide.
Some have clubs for particular activities such as football or music even if they do not have an after school
club. These activities do not count as childcare and if there is a charge you will not be able to claim childcare
costs for them unless they are on Ofsted’s voluntary childcare register.
What are the different types of out of school service?
Breakfast clubs – open in the mornings before school so children can enjoy breakfast there and never be
late. Schools can only provide the service to their own pupils so ask at your child’s school.
After school clubs – open in the afternoons usually between about 3.30pm and 6pm.
Holiday play schemes – open during school holidays from about 8.30am to about 6pm.
How do I know my child will be safe and secure?
Out of school services registered with Ofsted are checked to make sure staff are suitable to look after
children. At least half of them must be trained. The minimum staffing ratios are 1 worker, paid or voluntary, to
every 8 children aged 3 to under 8. Care for children aged 8+ must not adversely affect younger children.
There must be at least two full time staff members in every group of 26 children. At least one of these must
have or be working towards an appropriate qualification. Out of school services provided by schools are
inspected by Ofsted as part of the school’s regular education inspection.
All staff, whether paid or voluntary, full time or part time, qualified or unqualified, must have a Disclosure and
Barring Service (DBS) enhanced disclosure.
All types of out of school service on Ofsted’s early years, compulsory or voluntary registers or provided by
schools allow parents to claim childcare element of Working Tax Credit if they are on lower incomes. For
holiday care, the provider must provide the service for at least four consecutive weeks. Call the Tax Credits
Helpline on 0845 300 3900 to find out if you can claim help with out of school childcare costs. Text phone
0845 300 3909, website www.hmrc.gov.uk and click on Tax Credits.
How many children will there be?
In Brent it varies from 10 to 150, depending on the accommodation. Higher numbers are taken at a smaller
number of locations in the holidays.
What age range of children will be there?
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 for
children aged 10-14.
What about part-time childcare?
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.
