Special feature:
Pick a care
provider
that suits
your needs
THE following childcare providers are registered
and inspected by Ofsted:
A childminder is self-employed and provides
care in their own home. Some childminders can
also provide free part-time nursery education.
A day nursery offers care and education for
children aged up to five. Most are open from 8am
until 6pm. Many can provide free part-time
nursery education.
Some nurseries will care for older children in
the holidays and offer before/after school care.
A pre-school offers sessional care and
education to children from the age of two years
and nine months to five.
Sessions usually last two-and-a-half hours each
day. Some groups offer extended or full day care.
Most can provide free part-time nursery
education.
An out-of-school club offers care for older
children after school and during holidays. Before-
school care may also be provided. Some collect
children from schools if not held on the premises.
If a club operates for less than two hours a day it
does not have to register with Ofsted.
A holiday playscheme provides play, activities
and outings for older children during the school
holidays. A home childcarer is a registered
childminder providing childcare in parents'
homes.
The following do not have to register with
Ofsted:
A nanny is someone you employ to care for
your child in your own home. They can live with
you or come to work daily.
An au pair is usually a foreign student who
lodges with you and provides up to five hours of
care for your child per day. They are usually 17-27
with no formal childcare training so they are
better suited to older children. It is not advisable
to give them sole responsibility for a young baby.
A parents' help will look after your child in
your own home. They do not usually have any
formal childcare training. A typical parents' help
who does not live in will pick up your child from
school, take them home, make them a snack or
evening meal and carry out some household
tasks. They are paid an hourly rate.
A parent and toddler group provides a
meeting place for adults while their children play
safely. Children can attend from birth to five.
Wide choice is available from formal settings to
arrangements with relatives and helpers
Pre-School sessions 9:00-11:30/12:30-3:00
3 large purpose built rooms.
Lots of visits/trips to promote outdoor learning.
Wrap around holiday care available 50 weeks per year.
Open Monday to Friday 7:45-6:00.
`Children enjoy their day as they enter the
nursery with confidence, pleased to see their
friends and staff members.They behave very
well and are supported by patient, polite staff
who model good behaviour for the children
to copy.' -OFSTED JANUARY 2008
