This version of the Start-up Pack is supplied as a download so that you can use it right away. Alternatively you can purchase the Start-up Pack on a USB which will be delivered by post.
The Start-up Pack contains templates of all the paperwork that you are likely to need when setting up and running your out of school club. It combines the contents of our main individual information packs:
plus numerous additional policies and forms that we do not currently sell separately, giving you a total of 118 template documents.
The templates in the Start-up Pack reflect the current version (2021) of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, as well as references to relevant legislation such as the Equality Act 2010 and GDPR.
The template documents are supplied in Microsoft Word format so that you can easily modify them as needed for your own childcare setting. If you are unsure whether your word processing application can open Word documents, find out more about software compatibility.
