How are an after school club and a nursery different and similar? Cheers?
Nursery/Pre-school is for ages 0-5, after school club is for ages 5-12. Nursery/pre-school is like school, in such a ay as the children learn through their play. For example, role-play areas are usually set up, for example a shop, the kids learn that you have to pay for things, how to shop, what the role of different people in the shops are etc. At after school club they just find interesting things for the children to do, not always learning, as they have just come from school and probably just want to relax with their friends. They are similar, as another person said, becaus ethey both have to abide by ofsted rules, also as of this year, they will also be similar in a way that they allow the children to do what they wish within the boundaries as new laws have come in which say untill the age of 6 children should be allowed to explore their own wants by being allowed to do what they want within the setting. For example if tables are set up with play dough, puzzles etc and bikes, scoot
