Out of School Childcare Clubs
Out of school childcare clubs help parents or carers who work or attend training. They provide breakfast clubs, after school clubs, holiday clubs and wrap around play-care for school age Children.
Registration:
Many schools have out of school childcare clubs, while other clubs are based in village halls, community centres and day nurseries. Children’s attendance is registered and they are given a snack and a drink. Where appropriate, clubs are registered and inspected by CSSIW and qualified or trained play staff supervise activities (one member of staff to every 8 children under 8 years of age). The play environment should be stimulating and varied with a range of activities such as arts/crafts, games and physical play for children to choose from. A quiet area for reading and homework may also be available. Children are supervised until a parent or carer arrives to collect them. Sometimes a collection service may be available to take children to school from the club and take them home at the end of their day.

Registered Education for children aged 3 & 4years
All children have the right to a free, part-time, good quality early education place the term after their third birthday. Part-time means a minimum of 10 hours a week, for around the same number of weeks as the normal school year.
Costs:
You are not expected to contribute towards the cost of these places. If your child already attends an early education setting when she/he becomes 3, the fee will be reduced. However, you may have to pay for any services or childcare on top of the free education part-time place.
Registration:
Settings outside schools must be registered with CSSIW. Places are available in reception and nursery classes in schools, day nurseries, playgroups, Cylchoedd Meithrin and childminders linked to an accredited Children Come First Network. For more information on registered facilities offering free part-time places, contact your local Family Information Service.
