Information Packs

Basic Policies Pack

Ofsted requires that all out of school clubs have, as an absolute minimum, a specific written policy for eight topics. These are indicated with an asterisk in the list below. (For more information about the Ofsted minimum set of policies, click here.) In addition to these it is good practice to have policies on all aspects of running an out of school club.

To save you the time and effort of writing your own, or tracking down individual examples to use as models, we have put together a downloadable pack containing templates of the eight essential policies plus a selection of others that you are likely to need.

When you buy the Basic Policies Pack you will be able to download the templates straightaway. The template policies are supplied in Word format so that you can easily modify them as appropriate for your own childcare setting.

Standard price: £12.00 OOSA Members: £9.60
