Note on terminology
By a holiday club, we mean any Ofsted registered provision for school-aged children which is open in the school holidays where parents can leave their child, including play schemes. Please do not include childminders in your responses to questions in this survey.
‘Maintained’ means run by the local authority, a state school or local authority run nursery. ‘PVI’ means provision run by the private sector, voluntary providers, or independent schools.
State-funded schools include community schools, voluntary schools and academies, both primary and secondary.

In each section of this survey please report on your most recent data.

Important guidance on completing question 5:
•    Each holiday club can be counted once for each of the school holiday periods in which they are open.
•    This means that answers to this question do not need to sum to the total number of holiday clubs in your area as one holiday club, may be counted more than once.
•    However, the figure for any one holiday period should not exceed the total number of providers in your local authority.
