Before school care and the Ofsted 2 hour rule

26 replies

Due to a lack of before and after school care at my children's school I am wondering if this is a service I could offer. I have a teaching qualification so do have experience of working with children, albeit at secondary school age.
Can anyone advise if I am correct in thinking that I would be exempt in needing register with Ofsted, so long as I only offer care for under 2 hours a day?
I am thinking that just before school care would fit in with this rule.
I am also presuming but unsure if the childminding ratios ( 6 children under 8) would still apply?
What other things do I need to think about? Some sort of indemnity insurance I presume.
Any advise about whether this is a feasible idea would be very much appreciated!

In my area there are lots of parents who would love an early morning service. I reckon you could do very well with a breakfast club type offering that started at 7 or even 6.30. You are an ex teacher and live two mins from school. I think people would bite your hand off.
