Nursery World - Out-of-school club providers are offered help online

Information and support for anyone running an out-of-school club is being offered on a new online service.

The Out of School Alliance has been set up by Catherine Wrench, a childcare professional, and Clare Freeman, an internet consultant.

Mrs Wrench said, 'When I was setting up my own out-of-school club, I was frustrated at how hard it was to get the full picture of what was required. I could find no single source with all the information I needed and I spent many late nights trying to assemble all sorts of policy documents to satisfy Ofsted requirements.

'Tracking down all the necessary policies, procedures and forms was confusing and time-consuming.'

The Government's extended services initiative stipulates that by 2010, all schools should be offering affordable childcare at or through their school from 8am to 6pm, all year round.
