Ofsted new statutory guidance 2024
From September 2024, in line with Ofsted’s Statutory Guidance 2024 we will be making changes to both our child/staff ratios and qualifications for managerial staff, to help support the continued running of our clubs and to offer more places where possible for families to access our service.
Ofsted say: “Before/after school care and holiday provision Where the provision is solely before/after school care or holiday provision for children who normally attend reception class (or older) during the school day, there must be sufficient staff as for a class of 30 children. It is for providers to determine how many staff are needed to ensure the safety and welfare of children, bearing in mind the type(s) of activity and the age and needs of the children. It is also for providers to determine what qualifications, if any, the manager and/or staff should have. See details on page 6 for the learning and development requirements for providers offering care exclusively before/after school or during the school holidays.”
