Description
OSS is care outside school hours for children aged five to 13 years inclusive, where the care has been formally handed over from a child’s parent or carer to the OSS provider. Formal out-of-school services are organised programmes that provide care and activities for school-aged children. It does not include attendance at extra-curricular activities, for example swimming lessons.
