The Out of School Alliance is famed for being a 'one stop shop' for all the information needed by both experienced out of school club owners, staff and committees and those new to the sector too. 

Here you will find all you'll need in one place; template policies & procedures, helpful step-by-step guides, advice and guidance, activity ideas, recommended suppliers and tips for coping with Ofsted inspections and village hall committees!

The aim of OOSA is to make the lives of those running out of school clubs - whether just starting up or long-established - that little bit easier, as well as improving the quality of experience enjoyed by children attending the clubs.



The Bold Type Training & Consultancy Ltd


We are a specialist consultancy working with childcare owners and managers, focusing on the business side of running their settings. We know that by helping people to feel more in control of the business side, so they can focus on quality of provision, we see that owners and managers start to fall back in love with their business again.

We are passionate about children’s play and more importantly the adult’s role in supporting playful behaviours. Unpicking and developing practice is not a one-off thing and we love working with teams to break down some of the niggling issues holding practitioners back.

We’ve worked with childcare of all kinds; setting owners, managers and teams, charities, sole traders and large chain groups, as well as local and national Government, so we’ve a huge amount of experience to draw on to find solutions to the things you are struggling with.

Our consultancy approach is truly bespoke. We build solutions and support around what YOU need help with for what YOU want to achieve. All of this starts with a conversation, so please do get in touch!
