6.0 CHILDCARE SUPPLY<br />

If we include the number of registered places with childminders then<br />

the number of out of school places per 100 children increases, but only<br />

slightly to 4.3.<br />

The maps in Figures 43 and 44 show the distribution of places for term<br />

time and holiday childcare including the number of registered places<br />

with childminders for children over the age of 5.<br />

While the distribution of places available for term time and holiday<br />

childcare are fairly similar to one another, the distribution of out of<br />

school care does not follow the same overall pattern of childcare supply.<br />

Noticeably in the case of out of school care, Clifton with Maidenway has<br />

the highest number of places per 100 children with 11.5 places for before<br />

and after school and nine places for holiday care (per 100 children).<br />

The table in Figure 45 shows the number of places by ward compared to<br />

the average across the bay. The area with the lowest number of places<br />

across both types of registered out of school provision is Preston, in<br />

terms of holiday care, Wellswood and Tormohun have low numbers, 0.4<br />

and 0.5 places per 100 children respectively.<br />

The number of places available in Shiphay with the Willows is higher<br />

than the average across both types of care. In St Marychurch (which<br />

has high numbers of childcare overall) there are higher than average<br />

numbers of holiday out of school care (5.9) but slightly lower than<br />

average numbers of before and after school care (2.8).<br />

Holiday Care<br />

In <strong>Torbay</strong> there are 14 providers registered with Ofsted to provide<br />

holiday care. Of these, six are out of school providers, five are daycare<br />

providers (mainly nurseries who are also registered for full day care)<br />

and three holiday schemes are run by schools. The majority are open<br />

between the hours of 8.30am and 5.30pm, with three open until<br />

6.00pm. The majority also provide over all the school holidays, with the<br />

Christmas break being the one holiday which is less well catered for.<br />

Before and After School Care<br />

For out of school care in term time, there are 20 providers registered<br />

with Ofsted to provide care either before or after school. Of these, 11<br />
